The purpose of this Virtual Keyboard is to let a person input Cyrillic text - while on a computer without system support for Cyrillic typing - exactly the same way s/he types at her/his own computer, that is
each person chooses here the same layout (standard or phonetic) that s/he uses while working on her/his own computer with system keyboard.

Added standard and phonetic layouts for Ukrainian.

Type normally - with your regular physical keyboard, using either Standard or Phonetic (homophonic) layout (when À-À, Á-B, Ä-D, Ô-F, Ê-K,...)

In addition, mouse based input also works and there upper-case symbols are typed by holding Shift button on the physical keyboard while clicking on symbol.
