An idea crossed my mind due to a clumsy episode I had today.
I was drinking some coffee and enjoying my Ubuntu when suddenly :o oops! coffee all over the keyboard :(
After shutting down my Ubuntu and disconnecting the keyboard, I fired it back up and was thinking there should be a feature that allows me to login by the use of a mouse alone.
could a feature be added so that one may login if they have a mouse only? (using a graphical keyboard on screen to key in username and password) it may come in handy for other users in the future as well if such a feature existed.
Right now I am cleaning my keyboard out, so I will be able to use it again once finished, but it was just a thought that crossed my mind.
Perhaps an option that is enabled that gives a constant keyboard UI when it does not detect a keyboard present, so that one may still "type" with their mouse, even if the UI was hidden in a corner until needed or something.
