Hi VDG,

this is just a heads-up for a feature I'm working on which might need visual touch.

I'm currently working on integrating the QtVirtualKeyboard into KWin. The virtual keyboard is fully stylable and I think a Breeze style would be a good thing.

Screenshot of how it looks currently:


We might also want further features, like a Plasmoid to show the keyboard, etc. Currently my idea is to always use the virtual keyboard if we don't have a hardware keyboard. But only on Wayland I have that knowledge.

the keyboard should be defined for mobile? which size wide/height?

The keyboard is for both desktop and mobile. It's convergence

That's difficult. We cannot provide the height. The height gets automatically calculated based on the width and we don't have influence on it.

so you know the aspect ratio, please

No, unfortunately I didn't figure that one out yet. The documentation only says it's a static aspect ratio.

Well, from the screenshot above, I'd say it's around 3.15:1. But maybe it can be changed ?

Hey, I made a mockup for what it "could" look like using breeze. I tried going for a more striking look than the rest of keyboards out there. I am not 100% sure if these are all the keys and features we want but if you let me know, I can probably re-work the graphics.



Thank you,

I think yes. I assume that the size of the keys defined in the style will affect the ratio. But it's something I need to properly investigate.

I think the design looks quite unique, but I'm having a bit of a hard time trying to imagine how it would work on mobile devices where you wouldn't have much space between the keys. Could you maybe also share your vision for a Breeze phone keyboard?
