    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.
