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.

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.
