Unfortunately there turns out to be no way to make the virtual keyboard work tolerably on X11. On Wayland, we can make the virtual keyboard appear only when needed: when you actually touch a text input field. We can also make the UI adjust so that the text field remains visible when the keyboard appears. None of these things would be possible for a manually-activated virtual keyboard. So I think we will have to stay with the current approach, sorry. :) |
