Bug ID: 494668
Summary: Maliit-keyboard does not respect the shift key in
Plasma Mobile 6.2 Wayland
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasma-mobile
Version: unspecified
Platform: Ubuntu
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-mobile-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: compilebu...@qgenuity.com
CC: c...@carlschwan.eu
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
The maliit screen keyboard does not accept the shift key. The shift key is
highlighted when pressed, but the character produced is lowercase rather than
uppercase. This has been reported previously as a bug in maliit-keyboard, but
investigation into previously used solutions suggests that it is a
config-related issue in plasma.
Maliit bug report: https://github.com/maliit/keyboard/issues/198
In previous versions of plasma mobile, this could be resolved by adding the
following text to /etc/xdg/kwinrc.
````
[Wayland]
InputMethod[$e]=/usr/share/applications/com.github.maliit.keyboard.desktop
VirtualKeyboardEnabled=true
````
Plasma mobile 6.2 does not use /etc/xdg/kwinrc, but does have ~/.config/kwinrc
for each user. Adding the referenced text to this file does not resolve the
problem. Actually, the system adds the referenced line without "[$e]" ahead of
the line with "[$e]" when this strategy is attempted.
Software versions:
Plasma 6.2.0
KDE Frameworks 6.6.0
QT 6.7.2
Platform Wayland
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open screen keyboard, press shift and then press "a"
OBSERVED RESULT
The character "a" is printed.
EXPECTED RESULT
The character "A" is expected.
