FLORENCE(1)FLORENCE(1)NAMEflorence - extensible and scalable virtual keyboard for GNOME
SYNOPSISflorence [OPTIONS]
DESCRIPTION
Florence is an extensible scalable virtual keyboard for GNOME. You need
it if you can’t use a real hardware keyboard, for example because of
injury, handicap, your keyboard is broken or because you use a tablet
PC, but you must be able to use a pointing device (as a mouse, a
trackball, a touchscreen or opengazer); If you can’t use a pointing
device, there is gok, which can be used with just simple switches.
Florence stays out of your way when you don’t need it: it appears on
the screen only when you need it. A timer-based auto-click input method
is available to help disabled people having difficulties to click. The
ramble mode is another efficient input method that can help.
Florence is primarily intended to be used with the GNOME desktop,
although it can be used on any desktop environment by using the
--no-gnome option.
OPTIONS-h, --help
Print help message and exit.
-V, --version
Print Florence version and exit.
-c, --config
Open configuration dialog.
-d, --debug
Launch Florence in verbose mode.
-n, --no-gnome
Use this option if you are not using the GNOME desktop environment.
This will disable some GNOME specific features.
-f , --focus[=WINDOW]
With this option, any florence input will go to the selected
window. The window argument is the name of the window (the one that
most window managers put in the title bar). if the window argument
is not provided, florence will select the last focused window. This
option is useful for window managers that don’t support the "not
focusable" hint and focus the keyboard window instead of the output
one. It can also be useful if you want to input text to a window
that is not focused. This option must be used for the keyboard to
work in GDM.
-u FILE, --use-config=FILE
Use the configuration file provided instead of gconf. The
configuration file is a key-value pair file with sections. An
example of configuration file is provided at
/usr/share/doc/florence/examples/florence.conf.
