There is an excellent jQuery on-screen keyboard plugin by Mottie:
By default text from the keyboard goes into additional input and then can be accepted or cancelled. If text is accepted it goes into the source textarea/input.
But is there a way to input directly from the keyboard to the source textarea/input without the need to accept it (like with mobile keyboards on android/ios)?

Reset to default 9The documentation for the plugin is contained in GitHub wiki pages.
The option needed not include a preview is called usePreview (ref); set it to false (demo):
To autoaccept the contents, set the autoAccept option to true
$('#keyboard').keyboard({
layout: 'qwerty',
// true: preview added above keyboard;
// false: original input/textarea used
usePreview: false
// Auto-accept content when clicking outside the
// keyboard (popup will close)
autoAccept: true
});
