Well, xvkbd is handled specifically in clfswm with the function
present-virtual-keyboard.  You can show/hide it with a left click on the
top left corner (by default). It start hidden the first time. Click
another time to raise it.

You can also define a main mode key with the present-virtual-keyboard
function. The main mode is important otherwise the VK goes to the
background. You can add something like this in your .clfswmrc:

--------------------------------------------------
(defun local-binding ()
  (define-main-key (your key and modifiers) 'present-virtual-keyboard))

(unless (member 'local-binding *binding-hook*)
  (add-hook *binding-hook* 'local-binding))
--------------------------------------------------
