i’ve been searching nonstop. im stuck on gnome and i really hate it. i know theres mallit but its just a phone layout so how do i even exit vim? id need a full key layout
With a workaround you can use Onboard. You still need Maliit for the lock screen.
But yeah, the keyboard situation on KDE is abysmal. I’ve seen a little bit of movement on some of the Maliit bug reports. But nothing substantial yet.
On my Steam Deck I use Steam’s keyboard most of the time, Onboard when I need special keys and Maliit for the lock screen.
ok so i did all the steps but its still not typing
i get “ERROR: ld.so: object ‘/usr/lib64/libextest.so’ from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32): ignored.” running onboard
i cant find its desktop file
Should be in
/usr/share/applicatons
. Copy it to~/.local/share/applications
to edit it.
you mean a virtual keyboard?
I use
onboard
in the rare occasions I need it; it has the modifiers of a physical keyboardi just broke the touchscreen by switching to kde so gnomes fine ig
