Mike, welcome to the Keyman community :slight_smile:

You can use the Keyman COM API to control the display of the on screen keyboard. See https://help.keyman.com/developer/engine/desktop/10.0/api/IKeymanControl/StartVisualKeyboard

For example with Windows Script, you could do the following:

var kmcom = new ActiveXObject("keymanapi.keyman")
kmcom.Control.StartVisualKeyboard()

Got it.
