W.r.t. “SDK might need adapting”, yes, this is largely a toolkit bug, because a toolkit is the most practical component to keep track of when “a text field becomes focused”. You can’t expect every app author to do this themselves, and you can’t expect users to learn+remember any alternative way of

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1521518] Re: No way to invoke OSK when a hardware keyboard is connected

Agreed, we'll need to discuss it. Today the apps talk to the OSK (maliit) directly, we often talked that this is not ideal, and that the communication should go through the display server, in which case we would likely have easier access to the information. We do have a comm channel open between

On windows 10 there is an icon in the bottom bar that invokes the OSK. I can think of situations you want to invoke it that are not textfield related. Perhaps we could add an icon in the indicators? And I agree, there should probably be a system setting for auto-invoking it which you can turn
