Wildly OT: pop-up virtual keyboard for Mac or Linux?

Emacs to the rescue, as usual.

I use emacs for all of my typing needs. If I stray on a Web form, I end
up cussing at the browser whenever I instinctively hit a C-n, C-a or C-s
(or, yesterday, C-w).

As for typing "special" characters, I have written a .Xmodmap file that
rebinds my keyboard for various languages I use regularly. Then, I have
this text file that contains specimens for many other useful characters.
