Hi, maybe something like that:

github.com

sanjivktr/PyQt5-Virtual-Keyboard/blob/master/virtual_keyboard_controller.py

""" ui module
"""

from PyQt5 import QtWidgets, QtGui, QtCore
import threading
import time


class KeyButton(QtWidgets.QPushButton):
    """ KeyButton class to be used by AlphaNeumericVirtualKeyboard class
    """
    key_button_clicked_signal = QtCore.pyqtSignal(str)

    def __init__(self, key, parent=None):
        """ KeyButton class constructor

        Parameters
        ----------
        key : str
            key of the button

Hi @dset,
Were you able to solve the virtual keyboard need that you had? I am trying this code by sanjivktr but its not working as expected. There is no documentation on how to use it.
