Compared to other apps, Firefox and Chrome are very picky 
about how they interact with the Touch Keyboard;
so " Show Touch Keyboard button ", in SysTray, Must be Enabled.

"Randomly", the keyboard is slow to come up; I'm working on it. 

    HWND  Win, TaskBar, SysTray, Keyboard ;  MSG  Msg ;
                ...
    TaskBar  = FindWindow(               L"Shell_TrayWnd", 0 );
    SysTray  = FindWindowEx( TaskBar, 0, L"TrayNotifyWnd", 0 );
    Keyboard = FindWindowEx( SysTray, 0, L"TIPBand", 0 );
                ....
    RegisterHotKey( 
      Win, 'K', MOD_CONTROL | MOD_ALT | MOD_SHIFT | MOD_NOREPEAT, 'K' );
                 ....
    if ( Msg.message == WM_HOTKEY && Msg.wParam == 'K' )
      Launch( L"/Program Files/Common Files/microsoft shared/ink/TabTip.EXE" ),
      PostMessage( Keyboard, WM_LBUTTONDOWN, 0, 0 ),
      PostMessage( Keyboard, WM_LBUTTONUP,   0, 0 );
