Committed on 18/01/2021 at 16:43. Pushed by apol into branch 'master'. Introduce a setting to specify an input method At the moment we are getting the input method from the command line which is not very handy (but very secure). This patch changes it so it can be specified from a configuration setting.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=427972 --- Comment #14 from Nicolas Fella --- I neither now every keyboard there is nor what distribution you use or what is available there. In terms of keyboard I know of Maliit and weston-keyboard. There is also Squeekboard, but I don't know if it implements the required protocols. However none of those will work "by default" since, like I mentioned earlier, Plasma needs to be instructed which keyboard to use. This is currently very impractical, but Aleix' merge request will make that easier -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=427972 Nicolas Fella changed: What|Removed |Added Priority|NOR |VHI CC||aleix...@gmail.com, ||nicolas.fe...@gmx.de --- Comment #10 from Nicolas Fella --- In 5.20 we replaced the builtin hardcoded QtVirtualKeyboard with an implementation of the input method wayland protocol (https://github.com/wayland-project/wayland-protocols/blob/master/unstable/input-method/input-method-unstable-v1.xml). In principal that allows any compliant keyboard to work. For Plasma Mobile we use Maliit (http://maliit.github.io/). "there aren't any external virtual keyboards that work with Wayland" is therefore not true. However, the keyboard to be used needs to be specified when starting KWin, which we do for Mobile, but not on the desktop. Therefore it does not work on the desktop currently. A simple solution would be to hardcode maliit like we do on mobile and require distros to ship it, but a more flexible approach would be nicer. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Can @Bhushan give us more details about that information ? There is no other alternative that the built-in keyboard under Wayland. The only alternative I use is Qtvkbd but it is only work under Xorg/X11. I tried it under Wayland but it doesn't as good as under Xorg/X11 because it is made for that one and not for Wayland. Also, it causes me problems with automatic screen rotation under Wayland. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

The virtual keyboard > won't show anymore in Wayland or work with any app. For now, I use Qtvkbd who works on Xorg and Wayland (if you follow the solution I gave above). I tried qtvkbd on the login screen and it works but I can't use it with the InputMethod line found in the sddm.conf file (so I don't have the option in the lower left corner to enable qtvkbd on the login screen). If a kde developer can tell us a method to use another Virtual Keyboard with sddm.conf, I'll take it. Qtvkbd is better than the default virtual keyboard. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Can we have more details about it. Otherwise, I found another solution to make work another virtual keyboard under Wayland. I use Qtvkbd. It is a virtual keyboard who was make for Xorg/X11 but it can be used under Wayland. The solution to use Qtvkbd on Wayland is : 1. Install or compile Qtvkbd. The source code is here: https://github.com/Alexander-r/qtvkbd Note: For people using Arch or Manjaro, there is a AUR package here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/qtvkbd/ 2. Edit /etc/environment file and add these lines : QT_XCB_GL_INTEGRATION=xcb_egl QT_WAYLAND_CLIENT_BUFFER_INTEGRATION=xcomposite-egl QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb 3. Logout the session and then login. 4. Launch Qtvkbd. Note: Qtvkbd is more powerfull then the default virtual keyboard. I would like to see it ported under Wayland and KDE. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=427972 --- Comment #2 from Andrey Kozlovskiy --- I just wanted to say that the virtual keyboard is a mandatory feature for any DE and should be available and work everywhere, whether it is the login screen, lock screen, gtk or qt or another application or the DE itself. I am surprised that KDE on X11 doesn't have a built-in virtual keyboard and on Wayland it's completely broken too. Virtual keyboard on the login screen and Onboard already installed on X11 once saved me from buying an external keyboard when I spilled water on my laptop (I was able to type everything with touchpad for some time). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Tested on latest KDE Neon (Wayland) with Plasma 5.20.1. - The keyboard does not work at all if you activate it from the respective tray icon. "On-Screen keyboard Activated" popup is shown though. - If you run it manually with "QT_IM_MODULE=qtvirtualkeyboard" variable, in many applications it just disappears immediately after clicking on some text field. - If you run "systemsettings5" with this variable, the window and keyboard flashes constantly and this error is repeatedly displayed in the console: > file:///usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/qml/org/kde/kirigami.2/ApplicationItem.qml:0: > ReferenceError: bottomMargin is not defined -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
