Hello, does anyone know what on-screen keyboard is for KDE Wayland?

Support KDE Plasma
,
6

Also, there’s:

  • Florence Virtual Keyboard for X11; no Wayland support is mentioned, and it smells a bit old (2014).

  • Qt6-VirtualKeyboard, is a part of Qt6 which KDE will be switching to in 2024. Both Qt5 and Qt6 versions are currently in the repos, however, I couldn’t get this to run in Wayland. In fairness, I only spent a few minutes with it; and may still be worth looking at later, once Qt6 is officially released;

  • Maliit Keyboard (Again) is also in the repos; you would need to activate it in Settings → Input Devices. It did launch in Wayland, but I was unable to test with a touch screen.

There are obviously a few others in the link that Cscs provided; some of them (eekboard and QtvKbd) don’t seem to have been updated in a very long time (12-13 years, in one case); and Onboard seems only for Debian and derivatives.

I hope this information adds to your resource pool.

Cheers.
