Bug ID: 472286
Summary: Add a default virtual keyboard for plasma
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: master
Platform: unspecified
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: Input Method
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: greenismypep...@protonmail.com
CC: aleix...@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
***
I noticed that KDE plasma includes it's own qt based virtual keyboard however
it only works on SDDM. Is there anyway to make this keyboard accessible on the
desktop like any other virtual keyboard and make it the default option?
Currently if you install a KDE plasma distro you either have to hope your
distro maintainers included a virtual keyboard package or you have to manually
find and download one yourself. This is inconvenient for tablet PC users who
want their system to work out of the box.
***
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go to 'System Settings'
2. Go to 'Input Devices'
3. Go to 'Virtual Keyboard'
OBSERVED RESULT
There is no default virtual keyboard unless your distro maintainers
preinstalled a package.
EXPECTED RESULT
There should be a default virtual keyboard option for users who do not
wish/don't know how to install third party virtual keyboard packages.
