Enable virtual keyboard

This policy configures enabling the virtual keyboard as an input device on ChromeOS. Users cannot override this policy.

If the policy is set to true, the on-screen virtual keyboard will always be enabled.

If set to false, the on-screen virtual keyboard will always be disabled.

If you set this policy, users cannot change or override it. However, users will still be able to enable/disable an accessibility on-screen keyboard which takes precedence over the virtual keyboard controlled by this policy. See the |VirtualKeyboardEnabled| policy for controlling the accessibility on-screen keyboard.

If this policy is left unset, the on-screen keyboard is disabled initially but can be enabled by the user anytime. Heuristic rules may also be used to decide when to display the keyboard.

Supported on: SUPPORTED_WIN7
