I've been using an onscreen keyboard called Free Virtual Keyboard for over a decade now, and for some reason it doesn't work in OBS Studio anymore. It's been quite a long time since I've regularly used OBS, so I'm not sure when (IE, what version) it stopped working. Anything that requires typing in a number just acts as if FVK isn't typing. It's actually very strange that FVK doesn't work in OBS, since it works in pretty much everything I've ever tried in over a decade of use. And I use it every single day.
I'm partly disabled with several spinal problems and can't sit at a normal computer desk. There are many times (especially when streaming console games) when keeping my keyboard in my lap is very cumbersome, if not impossible. The built-in onscreen keyboard in Windows 10 does work in OBS, but that keyboard just doesn't have much in the way of features. Plus it means leaving it open during streams, adding yet another window on my taskbar. I think anyone who streams enough would know how annoying it can be juggling a lot of programs/windows at once. I know I could set it to be enabled differently, but it would require several extra clicks to get to it, every single time. Believe me, I've tried to get used to using it, but I just can't stand it. Thus me registering an account on this forum specifically to ask about this.
