I would like to request a solution for implementing a virtual keyboard for the RoundCube login interface. We run all of our RoundCube installations under HTTPS to provide connection security and encryption but a number of users access their webmail from Internet Cafe's and a virtual keyboard will provide them with additional protection against keyloggers.
I found a couple TRAC's regarding this:
#1332933 (Virtual Keyboard - patch included) (http://trac.roundcube.net/ticket/1332933)
#1487448 (Add keyboardInput class to password input field for compatibility with virtual keyboard.) (http://trac.roundcube.net/ticket/1487448)
But the mentioned http://webmail.syn-ack.org/ is no longer online.
I agree this should be a plugin.

I've gone ahead and put together a Virtual Keyboard package for Roundcube 0.5.4, see: Roundcube Virtual Keyboard | m d3velopment (http://www.md3v.com/roundcube-virtual-keyboard)

Why didn't you code it as a plugin? Please provide a patch against default Roundcube.

I'm not a coder. I hacked the solution together. Anyone is welcome pick this up and make a patch.

To port it to a plugin structure shouldn't be too hard. As far as I can see this could be done easily by jQuery (add class "keyboardInput" to "_pass" field, include "keyboard.js" and "keyboard.css").

This hack is now available as plugin.
It is skinable and supports localization. There is a glitch regarding automatic language association. The javascript stuff does not use standard language abbreviations. Maybe I'll adjust this later, but it would need a hack in the third party javascript stuff (I hate hacks making futures updates complicated).
Usage:
(*) Copy 'vkeyboard' into plugins folder
(*) Register in main.inc.php "plugins" array.
(*) Done

The above link will not be alive permanently. I'll bundle the plugin with next MyRoundcube plugins release.
@ Original author: If you want to host the plugin version yourself, just let me know.
EDIT: As you can see it is no magic to use Roundcube's powerful Plugin API instead of hacking around in the source code, which makes it hard to implement and maintain it.
