There is an extension to show a panel button to trigger it: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1061/on-screen-keyboard-button/
Unfortunately, its panel button itself does not react to touch at least for me (on Cosmic, Gnome 3.30, Wayland), which kind of defeats the purpose That said, in Gnome 3.30 the new OSK (from 2.28) automatically appears for me when I touch certain text entry fields, even when it is not enabled in Accessibility settings. This is IMHO the best solution. However, detection is either buggy or needs application support, as it works for me only in gnome-shell directly, e.g. the search field in Activities, but not anywhere else, not even first-class Gnome apps like Web or Videos -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to caribou in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1760399 Title: New On-screen keyboard cannot be manually triggered to appear To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/caribou/+bug/1760399/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
