Hi all, I have a desktop and laptop with a touchscreen. Both running Plasma/Wayland. English is my second language and I search things in my language often. Maliit works just fine on the laptop, but it's basically a dud on the desktop. I can only enable and disable it. It never shows nor work at all on the desktop. Tried onboard, gnomes on screen keyboard, and that thing is useless, too. Anyway to make Maliit work or is there an alternative? I really need it for the desktop. Thanks.

The virtual keyboard is hidden by default, unless you're using touch. You can change that by setting the KWIN_IM_SHOW_ALWAYS=1 environment variable, until there's a proper setting for it

Does this variable make it shown at all times?

No, only when you click on an input field and have it enabled in the system tray
