I recently purchased a Lenovo Yoga 7, which is a 2-in-1 laptop, touchscreen and all. I want to have an on-screen keyboard for touch typing when I have the screen folded, and the program Maliit works well for that. However, I also need to have fcitx enabled to change input modes.
These two functions seem like they can exist in parallel, but both are managed by the Virtual Keyboard system in Plasma’s settings application. According to the Arch Wiki’s page on Fcitx5, “KDE Wayland requires the input method process to be invoked by KWin”. Indeed, I tried to get fcitx to run by installing it manually, but it doesn’t seem to work independently.
Is there any way I can configure KDE on Wayland to use both of these virtual keyboards? If not, does such a thing work on X11? I fear X11 may have issues with my device, but I can attempt to try it if necessary.
Otherwise, is there any way to hot-swap between these methods with any sort of script?
I am running Garuda Linux with kernel 6.9.4-zen1-1-zen.
Thanks
