    I was really hoping for a better onscreen keyboard solution for Linux. Turns out it’s awful for both Plasma and Gnome.

        The osk fails to pop up when using apps like Cider. Probably something to do with electron.

        For both gnome and plasma.

                Yes it does. And my touch monitor has protruded bezel at the bottom. It’s nearly impossible to initiate. Can that gesture be changed? That’s about where I left off on my last attempt.

        Thankies :3 It’s definitely cute ;P

        I mostly subscribe to less fun-hating sorts of places so I didn’t think anything of cuting a lil tiny bit 🤷 I guess we’ve gotta all be sooooper cereal around here or people get upset for reasons 😅 🥣 I’ll just assume it’s because all of those people are techbros who’ve been bitten by mice and can’t even bring themselves to talk about it.

    Squeekboard was developed for Phosh, so it was developed with mobile gnome in mind. So I would think it would work pretty well on Gnome.

    I don’t think Maliit is that bad, but then again, I just need a basic keyboard when on a touch screen.

    There are some older DE-agnostic virtual keyboards (svkbd, xvkbd, matchbox), but they may not work in Wayland, if that’s what you’re using.

    There are a number of GNOME extensions to make it behave almost exactly like KDE if that’s what you’re after
