“neofetch” output and demonstration
There were a few issues with this button that are fixed for touch users with the fixes for Bug 466969 that will be released tomorrow with Plasma 5.26.3. However there's still an issue when you *click* the button. KWin receives the signal to show the virtual keyboard, but ignores it because the input event associated with it wasn't a touch event. We'll probably need a way to communicate to KWin that we want to force it to show anyway with no event filtering. A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/2782 On Wayland, the virtual keyboard still refuses to appear on lock screen when I click on its button by mouse. The one on SDDM works fine. Operating System: Manjaro Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.6 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.108.0 Qt Version: 5.15.10 Kernel Version: 6.4.7-1-MANJARO (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Yes, because those patches I submitted haven't been merged yet. *** Bug 499822 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I found this after a Solus user raised a bug about the VK not displaying on Plasma https://github.com/getsolus/packages/issues/5600 Is this still intended to merge at some point? In its current form, probably not. Eventually once the new virtual keyboard is implemented, I'll push for something like that to get implemented. *** Bug 494369 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 504850 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 448711 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 506179 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** It sometimes doesn't come up on the lock screen either even with a touch screen. That would be a different bug not related to this one; let's not get confused by talking about it here. |
