    Description

      Hi, greetings to all:

      I have a laptop that still uses Windows 8 and on one occasion the keyboard was damaged, this laptop has a password to enter, ot recognize several keys, including the ones I needed to put the password. It was a problem since I did not have an external keyboard to connect at that time.

      Fortunately Windows 8 / 8.1 has a virtual keyboard that can be used to access the system login in case you don't have a working keyboard at the time.

      I understand that Reactos aspires to be the equivalent of Windows XP and that since this feature does not exist in XP, maybe not be implemented on Reactos, however I think it is a good idea to implement it because if one day Reactos works already completely on a laptop for example and if this same incident happened, the user would not have to connect an external keyboard to enter the system (or assuming that he did not have one).

      Thanks greetings, I attach several screenshots that how Reactos could implement this on-screen keyboard.
