To be honest i don't know where this is the case. The Linux both on my laptop and my desktop both don't behave like this at all. I have not used any Windows for more than 20 years, so i don't know if it is like that in Windows.
You didn't tell us which distribution you use, so here is a link that explains how to configure the keymap in various distributions:
Changing The Language & Keyboard Layout On Various Distributions. Notice the warning at the beginning of the document! If you use any desktop system (GNOME, KDE, ....) you should use their respective tools rather than the underlying Linux configuration.
I hope this helps.

NAME
florence - extensible and scalable virtual keyboard for GNOME
SYNOPSIS
florence [OPTIONS]
DESCRIPTION
Florence is an extensible scalable virtual keyboard for GNOME. You need it if you can't use a real hardware keyboard, for example because
of injury, handicap, your keyboard is broken or because you use a tablet PC, but you must be able to use a pointing device (as a mouse, a
trackball, a touchscreen or opengazer); If you can't use a pointing device, there is gok, which can be used with just simple switches.
Florence stays out of your way when you don't need it: it appears on the screen only when you need it. A timer-based auto-click input
method is available to help disabled people having difficulties to click. The ramble mode is another efficient input method that can help.
Florence is primarily intended to be used with the GNOME desktop, although it can be used on any desktop environment by using the
--no-gnome option.
OPTIONS
-h, --help
Print help message and exit.
-V, --version
Print Florence version and exit.
-c, --config
Open configuration dialog.
-d, --debug
Launch Florence in verbose mode.
-n, --no-gnome
Use this option if you are not using the GNOME desktop environment. This will disable some GNOME specific features.
-f , --focus[=WINDOW]
With this option, any florence input will go to the selected window. The window argument is the name of the window (the one that most
window managers put in the title bar). if the window argument is not provided, florence will select the last focused window. This
option is useful for window managers that don't support the "not focusable" hint and focus the keyboard window instead of the output
one. It can also be useful if you want to input text to a window that is not focused. This option must be used for the keyboard to work
in GDM.
-u FILE, --use-config=FILE
Use the configuration file provided instead of gconf. The configuration file is a key-value pair file with sections. An example of
configuration file is provided at /usr/share/doc/florence/examples/florence.conf.
