It won't work. Why not? You can make it appear automatically with a simple hack by making a script containing export QT_IM_MODULE=qtvirtualkeyboard an putting it in /etc/profile.d/. The problem is that the have no control over it then. It just always appears and you can't turn it off, unless you reboot. With that flag the relevant Qt app launches the keyboard in-process. That won't help you use it in Chromium, button or not. Sure it would! If there was an icon in the taskbar that I could make it appear with, I could tap on it while being in Chromium. Best solution would be a shell command to male it appear with. Then I could link this command to a swipe gesture. It is really cumbersome: Firefox works, but it does not have swipe gestures Chromium has swipe gestures, but it doesn’t work with virtual keyboards xD Chrome cannot talk to this virtual keyboard. Well, then it can’t. But that was not what I was asking for, was it? I wanted to be able to activate the keyboard in the panel like in Wayland. |
