Lockscreen bring up vkbd button

The mobile lockscreen should have a button that you can press to toggle on the virtual keyboard.

Ahh, if that is the case then I might  be a victim of Opensuse maliit keyboard packaging issue. The keyboard keeps breaking on opensuse since they do not officially package it.

It seems like the virtual keyboard doesn't work on steam deck. What debug information do you need?

I tried sudo journalctl -xe. I do not know whether these logs mean anything.

Have you been able to trigger the virtual keyboard at all? Like from within the shell. 

I wonder if KWin is disabling the virtual keyboard because it detects a hardware one.

Not once. I never was able to trigger it.

Is there a keyboard setting in /etc/xdg/kscreenlockerrc ?

I forgot I reported it ages ago. I might ask sddm

Doesn't work

works with maliit and kde6.

You need to use a touch screen to reveal the keyboard. The gamepad doesn't work
