Use onscreen keyboard for mac login

The native keyboards reflect the system keyboard layout. It is possible to make either Chrome or Firefox work with this feature, but it would require developing a browser extension that communicates with Gestures and reports when a text field is being used. At time of testing, two prominent examples of apps that don't support it are Chrome and Firefox. Unfortunately this feature has some limitations: Using the Gesture settings program, Other Settings tab, you can configure the keyboard to be displayed when a text input field has focus or restrict the usage to secure text fields only: Please note that unfortunately it is not currently possible to invoke the on-screen keyboard on the login screen. Gestures can be configured such that an on-screen keyboard is automatically invoked in certain circumstances.
