In my opinion, is one of the best shareware in its category.

I am a girl with physical disabilities, and use this application every day to write, surf the internet and work. In my opinion, it is very good because it has a simple user interface, many functions and does not cost much.
To improve it, I want to write faster, especially with older Macs.

Launch the app, can't access preferences.
Can't change the language (switching using system prefs in the menu bar achieves nothing).
Non-standard GUI. (Red button at top left does not close the app window, it collapses it. (No green or yellow button.)
Click away then click in app window does not make the app active.
App window is floating and cannot be changed.
And the whole thing is way too ugly for my desktop!

Ok, here's a little secret: late at night with the lights off I like to relax in bed with the MacBook Air on my chest till I drop off to sleep. I can't see they keyboard at that angle but I can still type with virtual keyboard. I might get somewhere between 15 and 30 minutes work done before consciousness fades and I shut the lid of the Air and shove it to one side. (I sit the Air on one of those "stable tables" with a couple of lugs to allow airflow under the device.)
[As an side: the Air with it's solid state drive has just got to be the best Mac I've ever owned - can't praise it enough. Solid construction, lightweight, super fast start up and thin as rake - a real take-anywhere laptop. End of plug for MacBook Air.]
Back to VK - the only other time I used virtual keyboard was in hospital where I was literally! on my back for three days. Never had a problem with it. Best $20 I ever spent.
