On-screen keyboard (lemmy.ca)

Haven't looked too deeply into this before now because it's not a high high priority; more like a "would be nice." But has anyone found a touchscreen keyboard (like Maliit) that works on Wayland with non-kde apps. Maliit works with the kapps, but not anything else.

Switching to X11 to use a keyboard that does sort of work, and I lose the auto-rotation...

So it seems that we can't have both worlds unless someone knows more than I do (which I admit isn't hard to do)

Mallit works fine with non KDE apps. X11 apps are sort of problematic, but you can explicitly show the keyboard and use it that way.

What apps did you have problems with?

What apps did you have problems with?

Anything that isn't a native KDE app. Chromium, Firefox, OnlyOffice, Libre office, Gimp, Inkscape, etc...

Literally only KDEs own apps actually bring up the keyboard.

Do you have any input method related environment variables set?

env | grep IM

Or maybe specifically for GTK?

env | grep GTK

Nope and nope.
