Copilot, could you please teach me or give me a step-by-step procedure how can i bring out the "digital keyboard" or the "virtual keyboard" or the "on-screen keyboard " on to the display/monitor of my Windows 10 PC/Desktop ? Copilot , is there a keyboard short cut for it ? THANKS Copilot for your answer
MICROSOFT Copilot Answer
You can easily bring up the digital keyboard (On-Screen Keyboard) in Windows 10. Here’s a clear step-by-step guide, plus the shortcut options you asked about.
01
Open via Start Menu
The On-Screen Keyboard is built into Windows 10.
Click Start → Windows Ease of Access → On-Screen Keyboard
Click the Start button
Scroll down to Windows Ease of Access
Select On-Screen Keyboard
02
Use Run Command
Quickly launch the keyboard with a simple command.
Press Win + R → type osk → Enter
Press Windows key + R
Type osk
Press Enter to open the keyboard
03
Enable Touch Keyboard from Taskbar
Useful if you want a keyboard button always available.
Right-click taskbar → Show touch keyboard button
Right-click the taskbar
Select Show touch keyboard button
A keyboard icon appears near the clock
Click it anytime to open the keyboard
04
Keyboard Shortcut Option
Custom ShortcutThere’s no single dedicated shortcut, but you can create one.
Create a desktop shortcut for osk.exe
Right-click the shortcut → Properties
In Shortcut key, assign a custom combo (e.g., Ctrl+Alt+K)
Use that combo to open the keyboard instantly
Quick Notes
Default shortcut: Windows does not provide a built-in single key combo for the On-Screen Keyboard.
Fastest method: Press Win + Ctrl + O — this directly toggles the On-Screen Keyboard on or off.
If you use the keyboard often, enabling the taskbar touch keyboard button is the most convenient option.
Would you like me to also show you how to pin the On-Screen Keyboard to your taskbar or Start menu so it’s always one click away?
