Whenever the focus is on a text edit element, the key combination ctrl+alt+b brings up a weird on screen keyboard:

I wanted to remove this binding (or delete the program), but I can find neither! As you can see in the image, the OSK is not Florence nor Onboard, nor any I could find online. A reverse google image throws no results.

I'm using Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS, with openbox as window manager, and no DE.

The way to solve the issue but keep fcitx:

sudo vim /usr/share/fcitx/addon/fcitx-vk.conf

add to the file

Enable=false

logout, login again

I had the same problem. Probably it's caused by fctix, which is some software, which supports input methods. For some reason, I couldn't successfully kill this process from terminal. I found it in graphical system monitor and killed the process from GUI. After that, while typing Ctrl+alt+B, weird keyboard wasn't displayed anymore. You can also try to remove this software.

Instruction showing how to remove fctix can be found here: http://installion.co.uk/ubuntu/precise/universe/f/fcitx/uninstall/index.html

Uninstalling:

sudo apt-get remove --auto-remove fcitx

Purging config data:

sudo apt-get purge --auto-remove fcitx

I met the same problem. I tried piotr.wittchen's solution and it did work, but I couldn't input Chinese any more after that.

So, I reinstalled fcitx, and modified its Global Config in Input Method Configuration. Choose Show Advanced Options, and make Switching Virtual Keyboard empty. This solved the problem for me.

You can disable this by below steps: Settings->Fcitx config->Global config->Show advanced Options(Left bottom) -> Switching Virtual Keyboard -> Pressing Esc.
