Tired of "ABC" keyboard in IGuidance? iGQwerty

Introducing IG-(Q) WERTY KeyBoard
Add-on For iGuidance 3.0 NA

UPDATE: 04-01-07
New Version Released

Current Features:
Runs in the system tray and waits for the iGuidance OSK to appear then replaces the iGuidance "ABCDEF..." keyboard with a QWERTY keyboard
Skinnability! (see post 2)
Adds Navigate by coordinates back (More info)
If iGQwerty is not running iGuidance still functions 100% normal
Click and hold on BACKSPACE will repeatedly backspace rather than having to click over and over (iGuidance currently doesnt do this)
Includes numeric inputs [0-9] and extra characters [/-&' Etc.]
Doesn't block normal keyboard input (You can still type on your keyboard)

Future Improvements:

Adding scripting to control other screens easily by making a "workaround" to allow users to control iGuidance3.0 like 2.x used to be
