Enable on-screen keyboard from the command line
5,553
You can use SSH to add the onboard screen keyboard to the list of startup application.
To do so you should simply create a .display file within ~/.config/autostart directory.
The onboard.display file should contain:
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Exec=onboard
Hidden=false
NoDisplay=false
X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true
Name=Onboard Keyboard
Comment=
Save it and restart (sudo shutdown -r now
).

My keyboard just broke down, so I wanted to enable the on-screen keyboard, found in "Universal settings", via the command line (by logging in to that PC via ssh)....
Unfortunately, I cannot find any guidance to doing that - any ideas?
