10 months agoI installed it from AUR and tried it in both KDE and gnome. Both gave me same error so Idk may be not related to DEs I guess.

Please inbuilt on screen keyboard. For the love of god windows on screen keyboard is miles ahead of any Linux alternative and on Wayland the scene is even worse.
I did all the steps as mentionedeven before I read this blog. The issue is when I click on say on the search bar of firefox after enabling virtual keyboard nothing pops. Alteast like on board in x11 or onscreenkeyboard in windows there should be an option to pin the program to taskbar and let the keyboard float but its not there. I dont know what else to do.
Also tbh from an end user perspective they should not tinker this much just to type with their virtual keyboard. It should be there.
