Turning off the on-screen keyboard
Switch it off if you already have a physical keyboard
JukeBox-Cab has its own on-screen keyboard for typing on a touchscreen, chiefly for search. If you already use the Windows touch keyboard, you can switch the JukeBox-Cab one off and avoid seeing two at once.
✨ What it gives you
- No more two keyboards on screen at the same time
- Works alongside the native Windows touch keyboard
- A simple on/off setting
- Nothing is lost — you can still type through Windows
- Touchscreens with the Windows keyboard already on
- Windows tablets with the system keyboard
- Anyone who prefers the standard Windows keyboard
Skipping the scan screen
Start straight into your existing library
A setting hides the scan confirmation screen at startup. Off by default, so the application opens straight onto your existing library and your music is there at once.
✨ What it gives you
- The application starts in no time
- Your library is there immediately
- Ideal for arcade cabinets and kiosks
- No pointless screen at every launch
- Set it to suit how you work
