Keypad widget

Keypad extension allows attaching a popup keypad to text, password and textarea fields for mouse-driven data input.

The keypad widget assists the user in entering special characters or characters in other languages that don't appear in standard keyboards by default. Users can select the characters that don't appear in the keyboard using the keypad widget whilst continuing typing others characters in their normal keyboards.

It also can be attached to a password field to add more secure text entry so that users don't have to use the keyboard to type their passwords or sensitive information.
