SUMMARY
[Wayland] Cannot disable virtual keyboard switcher.

I would like to completely disable the icon "Whether to show the virtual keyboard on demand." and never see it in the system tray. It takes space on the panel and has a icon too similar to keyboard layout switcher icon, easy to confuse.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.

I don't have this icon. Doesn't it show up in the list of system tray icons where you can configure which items to show always/never/on demand?
