I think keyboard widget should have switch for (not) autoshowing keyboard for touchscreen although i have to be able to open keyboard manually - maybe change funcionality from virtual keyboard on/off to show/hide keyboard or automatic/manual display? Use case - laptop with attached keyboard + touchscreen - when i touch field in any app, i get half of display covered with keyboard, that i actually don't need. Keyboard could be broken though, so there should remain a way to show it manually
