Homebrew Question What emulators have an on-screen keyboard?

[PeterMount]

I'd like to play some old emulated games portably that require keyboard, do any of the emulators have this?

How can I get the keyboard in Vice though?

I used this method:

"I got it to work by going into control settings, then toggling joypad from retropad to joy (I think, then back to retropad. Then when going back to the running program, the Y button worked for the keyboard. Same issue with the raspberry PI build of vice. Had to toggle to get the virtual keyboard to work"

Uae4all2 (Amiga) also has a virtual keyboard.

I'm sure this has already been asked...is there a way to make the C64 and Spectrum emus more useable? IE, many games require keyboard to set up then joystick to play, which involves some back and forth with the menus, virtual keyboard etc. Any way around this? Guess I'm maybe a little spoilt being used to Madmab/Xport emus on the Xbox...
