A virtual keyboard is a component that allows a user to enter characters without a physical keyboard. It’s an alternative input mechanism for those who cannot use a physical keyboard, or for multi-lingual users who switch frequently between different character sets or alphabets. Virtual keyboards are commonly used as an on-screen input method on smart devices or small devices with no ability/space to attach a physical keyboard.
In this post, I’ll teach you add an awesome virtual keyboard on your Shopify store.
- From your Shopify admin, go to Online Store > Themes.
- Find the theme you want to edit, and then click Actions > Edit code.
- Click theme.liquid in the sidebar to open it in the editor.
In the online code editor:
