Title: Support for Linux

Do you provide a virtual keyboard for Linux?  If not, do you know of a competitor who does?

The Java keyboard seems to work well enough on Linux, we've just tested on Ubuntu 18.10 with openjdk-8-jdk -

Thanks.  I read on your website that you use .NET under the covers, so we did not even try to use your virtual keyboard in Linux.

Where does it say that? The component is pure Java Swing and doesn't need .NET, except for the KeyboardCreator tool.

"MindFusion Virtual Keyboard is an on-screen keyboard component that enables text and shortcut input through touch, mouse or stylus events. The control works similarly to Windows Mobile embedded keyboard, letting users input text into the currently focused entry field. It is especially useful for applications running on touch screen terminals, such as POS or industrial systems. The integration of an onscreen virtual keyboard can also be used to enhance traditional desktop applications with accessibility features. It is implemented as a .NET WPF control and can be easily integrated with any application targeting the Microsoft .NET platform."

That's from the help files of .NET WPF version of the component here?

These are independently coded libraries and the Java version does not depend on WPF one, it only needs the JVM and Swing.
