I have the same problem on an X220T, whose screen can flip into a tablet
mode. The touchscreen works great for everything until I want to type
something. In Gnome Shell, anytime I select a text field with the
touchscreen, it assumes I want to use the on-screen keyboard (OSK) and
automatically pops it up. If I begin to type on a physical keyboard, it
gets rid of the OSK and lets me get on with life. It seems to me that
this may be a good approach here as well! Definitely would work better
than the MS way of doing it, always having to press a button to make the
keyboard appear.

Title:
Ubuntu Desktop Next does not show on-screen keyboard when needed
Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
When booting the amd64 daily iso of the Ubuntu Desktop Next image on a
tablet, I am unable to get the on-screen keyboard to appear by tapping
into a textfield. Without this functionality, it is impossible to use
the terminal, the search, or perform basically any task that would
make the operating system useful on a tablet.
In my humble opinion, whatever logic you guys use for displaying on-
screen keyboards in Ubuntu Touch on phones and tablets should be
available in Ubuntu Desktop Next when there is no physical keyboard
attached.
