SUMMARY When I flip my laptop's keyboard back, I do not see any difference that would indicate the touch mode getting enabled. I tried using D-Bus to check, but for some reason qdbus fails: $ qdbus-qt5 org.kde.KWin /org/kde/KWin org.kde.KWin.TabletModeManager.tabletMode Error: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownInterface Then I tried qdbusviewer, and, according to it, tabletModeAvailable is true, but tabletMode is false. STEPS TO REPRODUCE Log in to the Plasma Wayland session, ensure that the "Touch Mode" is set to "Automatic" in System Settings, then flip the convertible laptop OBSERVED RESULT I get an OSD saying "Touchpad is disabled", which I get on X11 as well; but the touch mode is not activated. EXPECTED RESULT The touch mode is activated.

Do the laptop's keyboard and touchpad actually get disabled?
Yes, they do actually both get disabled
That's interesting. It means that your hardware and Libinput are doing the right things, so the issue may be in KWin, yeah.
This works for me now
