Clone the repo, change into its root directory, run package-extension.sh
and install the extension:
git clone https://github.com/cass00/enhanced-osk-gnome-ext.git
cd ./enhanced-osk-gnome-ext
./package-extension.sh
gnome-extensions install enhancedosk@cass00.github.io.shell-extension.zip
After installing the extension, log out and back in to reload Gnome Shell. Then enable the extension.

If the layout you're using does not have the extended keys, let me know, and I'll add them. Or, feel free to modify it yourself (see /src/data/osk-layouts dir) and make a PR.
You'll need to follow the manual installation process from README,
but before running package-extension.sh
you'll have to make changes to your preferred layout
(see osk-layouts), then continue with the installation process.
To install the extension on an unsupported Gnome version, you can either add desired version number to metadata.json
file and proceed with a manual installation,
or disable extension version check and then install from extensions.gnome.org:
gsettings set org.gnome.shell disable-extension-version-validation true
See TEST_CASES for test cases.
Gnome's default on-screen keyboard, on which this extension is based on,
uses ibus
package, make sure you have it installed.
The keyboard uses unicode characters, try installing ttf-symbola
on archlinux (AUR)
or ttf-ancient-fonts-symbola
on ubuntu/debian
Full-size Onscreen Keyboard than can be dragged around the screen.
