I like the transparent overlay approach, and its target of being
finger-usable, and the hide/show control by swiping. And the touchpad

I'm glad to hear it!
Hi Michał, thanks for commenting on this thread.
What setup do you have?
OpenBox at the moment; but I can change if something else is better.
I used IceWM, and I remember hacking it to put
windows with override_redirect bit on the top.
You mean you had to change IceWM's code for this?
That wouldn't surprise me, because I think override_redirect just means
"don't decorate me and don't mess with my size or position". I don't
think it normally implies being "always on top".
That gives the user
total control over hiding the keyboard. Some WMs seem to respect this
bit, and it maybe can be considered a bug if the don't.
I doubt it can be considered a bug. It seems to me that a WM needs to
take specific action in order to implement "always on top" for a window,
and the (normal) overall sense of override_redirect is more "WM, please
just leave me alone".
Regards,
Neil
