Bug ID: 430850 Summary: KWin - Add a way to force disable virtual keyboard Product: kwin Version: 5.20.4 Platform: Gentoo Packages OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: virtual-keyboard Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org Reporter: m...@ab3.no Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY You can't force disable the virtual keyboard in KDE Plasma. This is troublesome if your PC only has a bluetooth keyboard connected. STEPS TO REPRODUCE If you have e.g. an HTPC with only a bluetooth keyboard connected, and this keyboard has power management enabled (so it disconnects after e.g. 10 minutes of inactivity), you will not be able to avoid getting a message saying "On-screen virtual keyboard enabled" when the power to the keyboard turns off. And when you activate the keyboard again you'll get the message "On-screen virtual keyboard disabled". This is not ideal, especially since there's no way of disabling this behaviour. OBSERVED RESULT Everytime the bluetooth keyboard turns off or on, you'll get a message saying so, often during watching a movie. EXPECTED RESULT You can't always deduce out from hw configuration if it makes sense to have a on screen keyboard appear or not, so we really should have a way to force disable it to ever appear.
