NAME

6       florence - extensible and scalable virtual keyboard for GNOME
7

SYNOPSIS

9       florence [OPTIONS]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Florence is an extensible scalable virtual keyboard for GNOME. You need
13       it if you can’t use a real hardware keyboard, for example because of
14       injury, handicap, your keyboard is broken or because you use a tablet
15       PC, but you must be able to use a pointing device (as a mouse, a
16       trackball, a touchscreen or opengazer); If you can’t use a pointing
17       device, there is gok, which can be used with just simple switches.
18
19       Florence stays out of your way when you don’t need it: it appears on
20       the screen only when you need it. A timer-based auto-click input method
21       is available to help disabled people having difficulties to click. The
22       ramble mode is another efficient input method that can help.
23
24       Florence is primarily intended to be used with the GNOME desktop,
25       although it can be used on any desktop environment by using the
26       --no-gnome option.

OPTIONS

29       -h, --help
30           Print help message and exit.
31
32       -V, --version
33           Print Florence version and exit.
34
35       -c, --config
36           Open configuration dialog.
37
38       -d, --debug
39           Launch Florence in verbose mode.
40
41       -n, --no-gnome
42           Use this option if you are not using the GNOME desktop environment.
43           This will disable some GNOME specific features.
44
45       -f , --focus[=WINDOW]
46           With this option, any florence input will go to the selected
47           window. The window argument is the name of the window (the one that
48           most window managers put in the title bar). if the window argument
49           is not provided, florence will select the last focused window. This
50           option is useful for window managers that don’t support the "not
51           focusable" hint and focus the keyboard window instead of the output
52           one. It can also be useful if you want to input text to a window
53           that is not focused. This option must be used for the keyboard to
54           work in GDM.
55
56       -u FILE, --use-config=FILE
57           Use the configuration file provided instead of gconf. The
58           configuration file is a key-value pair file with sections. An
59           example of configuration file is provided at
60           /usr/share/doc/florence/examples/florence.conf.
