Description Patrick Silva 2021-05-15 18:17:42 UTC 
When "None" is selected in Virtual Keyboard KCM, Virtual Keyboard applet
in system tray is labeled "No virtual keyboard configured".
However, when we click on this applet Plasma displays a pointless OSD saying
"On screen keyboard activated/deactivated".

EXPECTED RESULT
nothing should happen when we click on the applet while no virtual keyboard
is configured. A way to remove this applet from system tray also would be nice.

Operating System: KDE neon Unstable Edition
KDE Plasma Version: 5.22.80
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.83.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2
Graphics Platform: Wayland

Agreed.
Comment 2 Nicolas Fella 2021-05-22 12:25:13 UTC 
I don't disagree, but alternatively it could open the virtual keyboard config when clicking the item

Don't show virtual keyboard SNI when no virtual keyboard is selected in the KCM

Not choosing any virtual keyboard is a valid option. In this case do not show the SNI since it isn't very useful then and takes up some space in the system tray.
