Two options here: there's a program (on my tablet) called powertool. I believe it came in package powerlaunch, but am not at all sure, so you may have trouble installing it

Anyhow, you can run

Code:

powertool -keyboard on

to launch the stylus keyboard forcibly. Put that on osso-statusbar-cpu.

Also, you can run xkbd, a separate on-screen keyboard, which I have running habitually. It behaves like a conventional keyboard, with Ctrl, Alt, etc., so you can also use it for accessing keyboard shortcuts.

An N810, or a BT keyboard, reduces the need of course, but these 2 software solutions should work.
