Are you using the X11 session or the Wayland session?

Thanks. In that case this is intentional; when you launch an app using a pointing device or physical keyboard, we assume you want to interact with it using those devices. If you want to use a virtual keyboard immediately upon launching an app, launch it using a touchscreen tap.

Yes, windows always use the configured window placement; this isn't automatically adjusted for touch use cases.

What do you mean in the mobile session?

In Plasma Mobile session, all applications always should be fullscreen
It's the same thing, then; KWin doesn't do anything different here in Plasma Desktop vs Plasma mobile. If you use a physical keyboard or a pointing device to open an app, we assume that's the input you want to use, so we don't need to show a virtual keyboard. > In Plasma Mobile session, all applications always should be fullscreen That sounds like a topic for a different bug report, because this one was about the virtual keyboard.
