The string pop-up character input is an alternative to the string pop-up keyboard. To use the character input instead of the keyboard, in the Tools menu, select Options > String Pop-Up, and then select Use the string pop-up character input.
The character input opens instead of the keyboard when the operator presses a string input enable button, the User and Password buttons in the Login dialog box, or the buttons in the Change Password dialog box.
