What it does

------------

In this early version, when enabled, this plugin automatically adds a keyboard icon *![(Virtual keyboard icon)](/resources/img/keyboard.png)* next to all simple textfields that are not attached to a HTML editor.    

For now, only textfields in a Quiz activity are concerned.    

*![(Virtual keyboard in action)](/docs/img/quiz.png)*

Known issues

------------

Requires Moodle 2.8 (only tested version), but it should be compatible with newer versions.    

The keyboard default layout configuration is global and then is the same for all keyboard instances.    

The keyboard is automatically activated only in Quiz activities.
