I see - you mean, when you connect to systems that cannot have a virtual keyboard of their own, such as teletype consoles.
There surely may be ways to use Android ones, but it is not trivial.
Really, either you have a physical kb connected to the HW, or VNC is what you want in such cases.

If you are connecting to a Desktop OS, instead, there are probably plenty of virtual keyboards available for install.

But real case scenarios... Suppose you are connecting it (HDMI, of course) to a tablet - ok, then you may /extend/ its desktop and place a virtual keyboard enlarged to be as big as the screen on the original. You view on the Onyx, you type on the source tablet.
