Personally, I would vote for Onboard to be integrated into GNOME upstream instead of Caribou.
Caribou is very deficient compared to Onboard and has not really been actively developed much. (There was a GSOC proposal to do some things but I am guessing the student could probably end up working just as easily on Onboard in GNOME instead.) Two prominent examples: I believe Caribou only supports a very small number of hard-coded keyboard layouts. Caribou is a fairly simple onscreen keyboard that does not have as many accessibility features as Onboard. So Caribou can work if you just want a simple English onscreen keyboard, but if you need a different keyboard layout or more accessibility options, it's not very helpful at all. Therefore, I recommend that the Onboard team open a discussion with the GNOME Shell developers about using Onboard's core to replace Caribou. (That could help with the Wayland difficulties since the necessary integration could be built directly into GNOME Shell.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to onboard in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1672465 Title: Onboard doesn't work in Wayland Status in Onboard: In Progress Status in onboard package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Onboard 1.4.1 on Ubuntu GNOME 17.04 Onboard at least shows the keyboard now in GNOME on Wayland.
