#### Virtual keyboard, clipboard vault & X11 shortcut bar suite

A lightweight Linux X11 alternative to Comfort Keys Pro combining an
on-screen virtual keyboard, a searchable clipboard history vault, and a
programmable global shortcut bar. Disclaimer: This project is an independent
open-source tool and is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by
Comfort Software Group or Comfort Keys Pro.

FEATURES

* Non-Focus Virtual Keyboard: Float an always-on-top X11 keyboard window
  with Shift, CapsLock, Ctrl, Alt, and Super modifier state that sends real
  XTest keystrokes to the active application without stealing focus.
* Persistent Clipboard History Vault: Automatically capture text copied to
  the system clipboard, search or pin snippets, store history in JSON, and
  copy or paste back into the target X11 window in one click.
* Global Shortcut Action Bar: Bind X11 hotkeys via XGrabKey to toggle the
  floating keyboard, paste the latest clip, insert formatted timestamps,
  send key chords, or launch desktop tools. Switch cleanly between English
  and Vietnamese interfaces.
