@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Is that a touch screen device? Is there working OSK for KDE? Still forced to use GNOME on all Touch Screen devices

    It's been there for a long time. 🙃 I think some distros come by default with maliit keyboard, you just need to enable it, or install then enable. Personally I am using corekeyboard, it's the only one with modifier keys (somehow neither gnome nor kde default ones even allow to modifiers).

    @nesc I tested both but both are neiher full sized keyboards nor work wit input methods like fcitx or have issues with key combintion and stuff like that.

    I tested 12 OSK for both GNOME and Plasma and this here was the only one that was actually able to replace a full size keyboard in all circumstances

    Sadly it only works with GNOME :(

    Osk situation is terrible in general, true, with wayland migration it became even worse. But for basics default keyboards for gnome and kde work.

    @nesc @vamp898

    KDE devs are working on this. It has become a priority of the "We care about your Input" goal.

    We are currently working on implementing a new virtual keyboard called QVK that will built into Plasma:
