The Virtual Keyboard

• Uncover your family's history with genealogy lessons

Family Tree Builder provides a Virtual Keyboard that lets you enter data in any of the 12 supported languages in case you don't have letters for that language on your computer's keyboard. Launch the virtual keyboard by clicking the keyboard-like graphic at the top of every page in Family Tree Builder, which looks like this:

The virtual keyboard will open up as a floating, topmost window. When you click a button on the virtual keyboard with the mouse, it will send that letter to the most recently used text box. The virtual keyboard adjusts itself automatically according to the current language settings.
