Hi I am new to this keyboard functionality , I have requirement that need to have a virtual keyboard layout which need to support Ctrl key .

Will this utility support the same ? Is there documentation is there for the same

Hi @gibyalex!

Are you asking if the keyboard supports stuff like Ctrl + a to select all text, and such? If so, then yes. You can also disable pasting content into the input using the preventPaste option.

If you're asking if it is possible to add a Ctrl keyset, then no it does not currently provide that ability.

Can you describe your use case? Or explain how you expect the Ctrl key to behave.

So, you're asking to add a button to select all text, copy and paste? To copy and paste content, you can use document.execCommand, but it isn't supported in all browsers. If you need to support all browsers, use a clipboard library.

Anyway, here is a demo adding a copy and paste button: http://jsfiddle.net/Mottie/egb3a1sk/1915/ - Strangely, I can't actually get the paste execCommand to work But then I can't get it to work in the other demos I found.

And since I don't know which keys you want to disable, here is a demo from the home wiki page (which has lots of demos) that disables the Accept and Bksp keys when the input is empty: https://jsfiddle.net/Mottie/u0g4u5c8/
