Description antikristian 2007-05-28 17:43:30 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.7)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

I think having a virtual keyboard as a separate panel or program to stick on a panel would make using kde on a tablet a GAZILLION times easier!!
With upcoming MID tablets from intel with adequate cpus to run kde with, it is even more important to have such a thing.

To put it simply: xvkbd just doesn't cut it, a panel or panel-app would be much better.

Hello,

There is also viki but i do not know its current status.

Thanks.

Viki is still part of KDE, now in the playground, under:

http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/playground/utils/viki/
 
I have not done anything on it since porting to Qt4, but it should still work AFAIK.
Comment 3 Shaheed Haque 2008-11-23 16:50:17 UTC
I added a couple of compile fixes, and also bug fixes to the SVN version.

I am running openSUSE 11.0 ,. I tried running viki and this was the error:
No keycode for  "AE00". Where can I update this program? The version indicated is "0.0SVNr784595-43.1".

There is a plasmoid that exactly add this feature. For KDE 4.3 you find it here:

The virtual keyboard will be part of KDE 4.4 kdeplasma-addons package. 

Please close this bug.
