Seems a bit obsurd to gatekeep such a crucial accessibiliy tool, no? One would think that the solution would just to allow redundant instances with unique positions on the taskbar for each display, but I've also discovered that you cannot have multiple touchscreen inputs which is probably why they didn't bother... I'll keep checking github for a 3rd party hero to make my life slightly better, and will report any findings.

Thanks for letting me know about PopChar, that looks pretty handy! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/touch-keyboard-on-df-taskbar-2/?ID=803d506c-7fcd-4ea1-84ab-b9ea8cff5db4#3 Wed, 01 Aug 2018 02:10:09 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/touch-keyboard-on-df-taskbar-2/?ID=803d506c-7fcd-4ea1-84ab-b9ea8cff5db4#3 DisplayFusion Keith, it's been a while … thank you very much for the prompt reply and researching my question.

Indeed, OSK. EXE works as you describe. But it does not access Emoji as the Touch Keyboard does directly. That was my purpose. Maybe in a new version of Windows 10, although it's a little hard to image Microsoft grasping the need to place that feature on a secondary monitor.

Meanwhile, my simple solution now is to place 'PopChar Win' on DF2 and set it to open to Segoe Emoji. Of course, 'Pop Char' — a superb utility — is so powerful it's nearly overkill.

As always, grateful for your help; all good wishes,

I've also tested in the past to try to get it to move to another monitor with Trigger rules, but it seems to ignore the move commands we send it.

What you could do is use the other on screen keyboard. You can create a shortcut to C:\Windows\system32\osk.exe. Trigger rules seem to work for it as well ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/touch-keyboard-on-df-taskbar-2/?ID=803d506c-7fcd-4ea1-84ab-b9ea8cff5db4 Mon, 30 Jul 2018 23:15:56 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/touch-keyboard-on-df-taskbar-2/?ID=803d506c-7fcd-4ea1-84ab-b9ea8cff5db4 DisplayFusion Re: Windows 10 1803>17134.191
Display Fusion 9.3

Would it possible to display the Tablet Keyboard icon [C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\ink\TabTip.exe] on DF Taskbar 2 ONLY and then, when executed, have the keyboard panel display ONLY on that monitor?

Many thanks and good wishes to the DF Team,
