Using Debian testing, I can not find how to enable virtual keyboard.
I installed package qtvirtualkeyboard-plugin and it works with SDDM, but not within KDE.
When I go to KDE preferences, there is something strange:
If running with Wayland, there is a “Input Devices → Virtual Keyboard” section, but “None” is the only choice.
If running with X11, there is no “Virtual Keyboard” section inside “Input Devices”.
Do I need to install a specific package? Or should I configure something?
No need to wait, there is “matchbox” and “xvkbd”. They both work under X.
There is also “CoreKeyboard” on flathub and it resembles Android’s, also works under X but is buggy: suggestions don’t show (author claims they should) and it gets stuck on-screen - doesn’t want to close (there is a button on it to do so), so since I’m using a hybrid laptop I had to unfold my physical keyboard and press Escape, otherwise CoreKeyboard would stay stuck on the screen
BTW, Wayland is much worse at handling touch. Right now I’m on Debian (for this laptop with a touch screen) and X is by default, I installed and switched to a Wayland session and most touch actions didn’t work, the virtual keyboards weren’t working. So X is much better for touch as far as I can tell…
I’m on Debian 11.7.0 that I just downloaded and did a fresh install. According to KDE’s System Information, I’m on Plasma 5.20.5, Framework 5.78.0, Qt 5.15.2, kernel 5.10.0-23-amd64.
