Any suggestions for using mac onscreen keyboard with starmade?

[wheels00]

This won't be relevant to many people but it's important to me.

Due to disability, I can't use a hardware keyboard, so i play games with an onscreen keyboard (yes, it's slow and difficult but you get used to it).

But Starmade on my mac doesn't seem to detect keyboard events from any onscreen keyboard software.

Does anyone have any suggestions how i might get it working?

Is the window focussed while using the on-screen-keyboard?
Because if the window isn't focussed, it discards any input. (to my knowledge this can't be changed)
