If you're using SDDM, you can activate the virtual keyboard with the |
| 23 |
following line in the config file /etc/sddm.conf |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
[General] |
| 26 |
# Input method module |
| 27 |
InputMethod=qtvirtualkeyboard |

For the session itself, under KDE on Ubuntu I use Onboard [1], which is not |
| 30 |
available in Portage |
| 31 |
I found a blog page [2] explaining how to install Onboard on Gentoo, with |
| 32 |
an ebuild, but it's for Python 3.4 to 3.6 |
| 33 |
I've adapted the ebuild to Python 3.7 in my overlay [3] and it worked as |
| 34 |
expected, either from another PC through VNC or from a touch screen. |
| 35 |
Onboard seems to originate from Gnome, and as I use it under KDE, it should |
| 36 |
be independent from the window manager. |
