i have faced a problem which is my keyboard have 3 or 5 damaged keys :P.

i was working in some translations to Arabic but i can't continue

my work while my keyboard have non-working key so i found a solution which is

onboard keyboard it comes with Ubuntu but i think you may need to show it's menu

by:

1- Right click on main menu.

2- select [COLOR=Red]Edit Menus[COLOR=Black].

3- Select Universal Access from the left.

4- From the right select[COLOR=Red] OnBoard[/COLOR] & [COLOR=Red]onBoard Settings[COLOR=Black].

but the onBorad doesn't have Arabic language by default so we need to add it manually:

1- Download the package from the attachment. ( thanks to [/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR]revoltism ) [COLOR=Red][COLOR=Black][COLOR=Red][COLOR=Black] 2- Extract it's content to [/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR]``` /usr/share/onboard/layouts


3- All you need now is select Arabic layout from onBoard Settings.
Applications >> onBoard Settings

and then choose layout tab and select [COLOR=Red]**Arabic**[/COLOR]
