    I was really hoping for a better onscreen keyboard solution for Linux. Turns out it’s awful for both Plasma and Gnome.

        The osk fails to pop up when using apps like Cider. Probably something to do with electron.

        For both gnome and plasma.

            Does not help with full screen kiosk apps. Its broken. Plain and simple.

                Yes it does. And my touch monitor has protruded bezel at the bottom. It’s nearly impossible to initiate. Can that gesture be changed? That’s about where I left off on my last attempt.

    Squeekboard was developed for Phosh, so it was developed with mobile gnome in mind. So I would think it would work pretty well on Gnome.

    I don’t think Maliit is that bad, but then again, I just need a basic keyboard when on a touch screen.

        Sure. But even Android or Windows’ onscreen keyboard does not do those properly.

            I don’t have function keys in the default Android keyboard. So you likely installed an app that has those as an extra feature. Itø’s not common on onscreen keyboards.

                I think we are misunderstanding eachother. I’m talking about the default keyboards on a platform and you are talking about installing other ones with advanced functionality.

    There are some older DE-agnostic virtual keyboards (svkbd, xvkbd, matchbox), but they may not work in Wayland, if that’s what you’re using.

        Thankies :3 It’s definitely cute ;P

        I mostly subscribe to less fun-hating sorts of places so I didn’t think anything of cuting a lil tiny bit 🤷 I guess we’ve gotta all be sooooper cereal around here or people get upset for reasons 😅 🥣 I’ll just assume it’s because all of those people are techbros who’ve been bitten by mice and can’t even bring themselves to talk about it.
