You need: * Qt 5.7 * QtVirtualKeyboard module installed * Wayland session With that combination you can have the virtual keyboard to show for Qt (Wayland) applications. The keyboard shows automatically if there is no hardware alpha-numeric keyboard attached (idea here is that with a convertible we disable the keyboard when switching to tablet mode). Otherwise there is a SNI in the hidden section where you can enable it. Further plans: * Make it work on lockscreen * Ensure keyboard doesn't cover windows * Add maliit support for GTK and X applications * bring it to X11 (only makes sense with maliit) Cheers Martin
