Feature #985
Updated by Hammel 12 months ago
There is a cairo keyboard embedded in the old dialer app for the custom hardware Xeon project. This might still be used, perhaps as a library. Or I could try using "matchbox-keyboard":https://github.com/Xlab/matchbox-keyboard and fix up the display. Or I can try more sophisticated X/Wayland on-screen keyboards, like virtboard or squeekboard.
But I think the idea of having to use dbus for a keyboard seems odd. I don't want the keyboard to get keyboard focus either. But I need a general purpose solution that I can re-use across apps.
