The ; and : are reversed. Other than that, it's pretty neat. Keys are a bit hard to press though. Maybe make it like the full screen keyboard?

Here's a screen shot.
Some keys seem to be missing (like space and return, and the bottom row of the keys z thru >)
But I like the idea!

What I meant was make it look like the full screen keyboard, but transparent. That way you could see the edges of the "keys". Not sure if it's possible though.
One thing that I didn't like about the tablet is that I couldn't properly use the terminal while thumb typing. That's because the thumb keyboard hides the terminal entirely.
How can one use Midnight Commander for instance like that !?
Therefore I have modified the osso-xterm to show a "transparent" keyboard (it's actually only the symbols on a standard QWERTY keyboard) thus allowing to a more natural terminal use.
This is only the first version of the change, but it's functional and I already use it on my tablet.
Of course many improvements can be done, I'm waiting for your opinions.
I am attaching the executable as it is (no packaging) and I would be interested if anybody else finds it useful.
(Actually the .deb file I have attached is a .zip, so pls rename it and unzip it to get the osso-xterm executable. I did this because otherwise it wouldn't let me attach it).
