Palettised keyboard

[richmond62]

OK, Hop-Pickers; all of you who have been wondering "How does Richmond do it?"

Here is at least part of "it": meaning a floating, palette virtual keyboard.

This only features 3 buttons; mainly as I don't use a floating palette keyboard in any of my
current offerings, and this was just run up as a demonstration thing.

Don't nick the graphics (use your own), and all I ask is that somewhere in your app you
give me a quick line of credit.

The palette will dump characters into a selected field in another stack;
whether a substack of the palette, a main stack of which the palette is a substack,
or an independent stack. If there is no other stack with a cursor in a textField
the palette will throw an error message: all you clever chaps can work out how
to prevent that.

Here's the stack.
