Hi all, I have a desktop and laptop with a touchscreen. Both running Plasma/Wayland. English is my second language and I search things in my language often. Maliit works just fine on the laptop, but it’s basically a dud on the desktop. I can only enable and disable it. It never shows nor work at all on the desktop. Tried onboard, gnomes on screen keyboard, and that thing is useless, too. Anyway to make Maliit work or is there an alternative? I really need it for the desktop. Thanks.

    Maliit only appears when touch events are registered. So you cannot use it with a mouse. And development on the app is slow to nonexistent.

    The virtual keyboard situation on Linux is abysmal. Especially on KDE.
