I'm running Neon User with the latest Plasma 5.10, but for the life of me cannot see the virtual keyboard button described here:
https://blog.martin-graesslin.com/blog/ ... ck-screen/

I tried enabling the input method in sddm.conf (detailed in --example-config)

Code: Select all

[General]
InputMethod=qtvirtualkeyboard

I also tried exporting the env before starting sddm, to no avail...

Code: Select all

QT_IM_MODULE=qtvirtualkeyboard

This looks odd though...

Code: Select all

ii  qml-module-qtquick-virtualkeyboard              5.7.1-0neon+16.04+build14                    amd64        Qt virtual keyboard

Code: Select all

# dpkg -L qml-module-qtquick-virtualkeyboard
/.
/usr

Do you have the Qt5 virtual keyboard installed ?

With the Arch Linux package name is qt5-virtualkeyboard.

Plasma lock screen

After the installation of the qt5-virtualkeyboard the Plasma lock screen has the virtual keyboard button at the lower left corner.

SDDM Greeter with the virtual keyboard

As told: https://phabricator.kde.org/D5061 and https://github.com/sddm/sddm/pull/803

QT_IM_MODULE is set from a config value, however it currently is only
set in testing mode...

The testing is working with the

Code: Select all

$ export QT_IM_MODULE=qtvirtualkeyboard
$ sddm-greeter --theme /usr/share/sddm/themes/breeze

The real deal will need the line:

Code: Select all

env.insert(QStringLiteral("QT_IM_MODULE"), mainConfig.InputMethod.get());

as told at the https://github.com/sddm/sddm/pull/803/c ... 29c8ac18de

Adding line -> rebuilding the sddm -> testing -> working at here.

Hi...
I have a 'HP spectre X2 ...
I would like to ask when the user has logged in ... how can I activate | deactivate
qtvirtualkeyboard without restarting SDDM?
if I put it in / etc / environment

Code: Select all

QT_IM_MODULE = qtvirtualkeyboard

the keyboard starts automatically but I would like to make a script
to enable the keyboard when a condition occurs ..
for example:
If

Code: Select all

cat /proc/bus/input/devices | grep 'H: Handlers=event1 mouse0' > /dev/null; echo $?

return "1" the keyboard isn't present
while if return "0" , the keyboard is connected..

I need able the qtvirtualkeyboard only when the keyboard isn't present...
I try

Code: Select all

export QT_IM_MODULE=qtvirtualkeyboard && kwin_x11 --replace

but the keyboard not start....

How to enable / disable
qt-virtual-keyboard without restart SDDM


Thank you
