[Touch-packages] [Bug 1543351] Re: osk with puritine apps
I'm worried there's more to it than that. IIUC today Qt apps talk to the OSK directly on dbus, thanks to this being set on its env: QT_IM_MODULE=maliitphablet The input does not go through normal input systems at all, it goes ~directly from OSK to the input field. Even Qt apps would need to poke out of it to comm with the OSK process. Non-Qt apps would need their own maliit support implemented... There may be other ways, we could make the OSK fall back to generating real input events if there's no app on the other end (that might actually be the most versatile approach), or we could have XMir proxy the input... Long-term we'd probably like for the input comm to go through Mir over some standardized API so we can support 3rd party OSKs (unless we actually say maliit is the "standardized API"). Lotsa questions, not many answers. ** Changed in: unity8 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity8 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1543351 Title: osk with puritine apps Status in Canonical Pocket Desktop: New Status in Ubuntu UX: New Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: we currently can't interact with puritine apps relying on the OSK to add this feature in where text-box selection on an xapp results in triggering the osk, in unity8 would be a very large/complicated effort.
