For accessibility and/or limited hardware reasons, should CachyOS KDE have a virtual keyboard to allow mouse/touch-based login installed by default? I haven’t tested the other DEs/WMs to see what is available with the preinstalled environments.
I have no problems with installing a virtual keyboard myself, knowledge-wise. I am solely asking since I can see an easily covered accessibility hole here.
And when I click on Virtual Keyboard, nothing happens. A Virtual Keyboard isn’t installed in KDE settings.
I acknowledge your experience. This is strange, then - I installed from the July ISOs, though, so if there’s been a change in default packages and you might’ve used August 2024, I can’t explain it. This is on two different machines with default KDE installations.
I used ZFS for install on both systems, and there’s already an issue with it failing to install nVidia packages correctly. I don’t want to suggest this could be related without sufficient evidence yet. I’ll have to set up a test machine and check if the choice of filesystem is affecting things. I’ll respond after several installs…
Edit to Add: Pop-up keyboard is working on a third machine with installation date 04 August 2024. I could be working with an old ISO issue for the other two machines. But no more testing tonight, family time now 
I must have been caught between reboots while system packages were updated. I haven’t been able to reproduce this, thankfully.
Mark as invalid, system in not-stable state between reboots! Apologies all around… I do feel quite dumb about this if it helps
Same here. I have even installed the Plasma keyboard along with the dictionaries, and it still won’t work.
I never got a virtual keyboard, how do i install one?
2026, still no virtual keyboard installed.
