Description Julian Groß 2024-03-08 12:50:57 UTC 
SUMMARY
After upgrading from Plasma Mobile 5 to 6, the on-screen keyboard started to appear even with a physical keyboard plugged in.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. 
2. 
3. 

OBSERVED RESULT
The on-screen keyboard appears, even when a physical keyboard is present.

EXPECTED RESULT
Arguably, the on-screen keyboard should only appear when no physical keyboard is present.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: postmarketOS Edge (updated 2024-03-08)
KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.0
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.0.0
Qt Version: 6.6.2 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This issue can be worked around by just disabling the virtual keyboard manually when a physical keyboard is attached.

Constantly attaching and detaching the physical keyboard is a realistic workflow in a school setting, where one might switch from stylus input to keyboard input and vice versa. Especially in the age of magnetically attaching keyboards.
