Thanks Jehan for helping me out. To be honest, I'm not a developer, merely in newbe using gimp for a very short time. I didn't know about the GTK+ project. It looks very exciting, might not be a programmer I don't know how to use it.
No problem, you don't have to be a developer to create with GIMP. ;-) I am not proposing you to "use" GTK+. GIMP uses GTK+, not you. I was just wondering if you also had other software which also use GTK+. But if you don't know, it's ok. Don't worry.
With the Microsoft on-screen keyboard what appears not to be working on the simple modifier keys. For example I 't use control X. I have to use cut from the edit menu. The Microsoft on-screen keyboard so works with any text field, for example I can enter a file name, but when a save it I can't use CONTROL C to save it. I can't use shift all the ALT key to modify a selection.
I'm not sure how you mean your explanations. Are you saying for instance that you want to use ctrl-x (with the on-screen keyboard) to cut, but you currently can't, and you have to go through the menu? And if so, why: doesn't the on-screen keyboard appear? Is it available, but clicking control-x does not cut anything? Some more details would be useful to understand the issues.
Usually the way to report bugs is doing step by step procedures, then end with the expected result and actual result. For instance, here is what it could be with the ctrl-x example (which may be wrong regarding your issue since I'm not sure I understand what you are saying).
Reproduction steps: 1/ Select part of an image.
2/ Hit ctrl + x in the on-screen keyboardExpected result: the select piece of image should be cut. Actual result: nothing happens.
I see you that there are a number of books referenced in the GTK + project documentation. Do you know if there are reputable by a non-programmer mind?
No as I said above, you don't have to read books about GTK+. This is a code library for programmers to make usage of. Don't bother with this. I just wanted to know if other GTK+ program had the same issues you were experiencing. And if so, it would probably mean the problem lies in GTK+ code.
As you can imagine, to have to keep returning to the gimp menu for even simple tasks is rather exhausting, especially because I work the mouse with my nose.
I perfectly understand this. I hope we can find the reasons for your issue. Just explain step by step what happens on your screen as explained above. Assume that we don't know at all what you are seeing and what you are expecting (which is the actual case), especially since most of us don't have the need to use an on-screen keyboard as you do; and moreover most developers of GIMP don't even use Windows as a daily OS. So we don't really know what one who use Windows and an on-screen keyboard expects.
Many thanks for listening.
You are welcome.
Steve

Have you tried any other program using the GTK+ toolkit by any chance? Do you have the same issue there?
Also what doesn't work exactly? The on-screen keyboard does not pop up when your cursor enter a text field? It pops up but it won't write into the field?Jehan
Thanks for reading.

Spacebar does not work either, and this one's kind of critical to have when actually performing text entry. - For the Text tool specifically, its on-canvas toolbox elements work fine but general text entry has the above-mentioned problem (the lack of a responding Spacebar renders the OSK practically worthless here). - Keyboard shortcuts work normally (e.g. Ctwl+W to close active window, P to switch to Paintbrush). However, only Ctrl and/or Shift based shortcuts work as the OSK does not feature an Alt key; you cannot, for example, move between image tabs/windows with their default mappings. For a comparison, I tested the OSK in Inkscape and could not find any problems whatsoever, although the OSK does not include a row for Function keys (used to switch tools). On an aside, I noticed that when selecting certain tools via keyboard (Perspective, Scale, Shear, etc.) they 'activate' (i.e. canvas overlay and settings dialog appears) immediately and the dialog receives focus (i.e. you cannot switch off the tool using keyboard). This does not happen when selecting tools via mouse -- is that a bug? It can be worked around quickly enough by cancelling the tool's dialogue but mind that the OSK does not include an Esc key. -- Stratadrake strata_ranger@hotmail.com -------------------- Numbers may not lie, but neither do they tell the whole truth. ________________________________ From: gimp-user-list on behalf of Jehan Pag?s Sent: Saturday, November 25, 2017 7:43:27 PM To: Ringbat Cc: gimp-user-list@gnome.org Subject: Re: [Gimp-user] Microsoft on-screen keyboard doesn't work with gimp 2.8 Hello!
