Application to view keyboard layout on screen

Is there such an app? I need a virtual keyboard to input Russian, but I haven't finished learning the layout. I need an onscreen keyboard like the one in Windows, which works for Russian and not just english, and where I can click keys to input.

Any suggestions?

Re: Application to view keyboard layout on screen

Try onboard:

# pacman -Syu onboard

Then you set Russian keyboard layout via setxkbmap, if you haven't done so yet:

$ setxkbmap ru

Start onboard and it should appear with Russian layout:

$ onboard

Thanks! It even works & updates layout when I switch to Russian or to English in GNOME language menu! Great app!!!
