Is there a manual way to have it come-up ? From comment #10 :
"Because of alien toolkits there is always a need to summon on demand."

asitshould.

Title:
  New On-screen keyboard cannot be manually triggered to appear

Status in OEM Priority Project:
  Confirmed
Status in caribou package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I have always used an on-screen keyboard as a virtual keyboard for
  entering text in a different layout than my physical keyboard. This
  time I cannot, since I cannot manually trigger the new OSK.

  Steps:

  1. Open Firefox
  2. Try to enter text in a different layout using the new OSK
  3. You cannot make the OSK appear

  When enabled, the new OSK appears automatically in Activities, but I
  cannot trigger it outside GNOME apps. You have to enable the new OSK
  first from Universal Access in Settings.

  I consider this a regression from 16.04 LTS, where On-board is easily
  triggered.

  Workaround:

  sudo apt install onboard
