on-screen keyboard testing
(on bullseye, X.org/evdev, xkb layout) #OSK
caribou
Not tested, the screenshot shows it’s not what I was looking for. Also, old, mentions GOK but that doesn’t even exist any more?
What, though, is “scanning mode”? That also shows up in at least one more keyboard below…
maliit-keyboard
Awful for most users, see above in the thread.
matchbox-keyboard
Not tested, also special-layout.
onboard
Very tiny writing. Might recognise the layout, but doesn’t insert anything for me (possibly incompatible with evilwm
or other focus-follows-mouse models).
osk-sdl
Description: Lightweight On-Screen-Keyboard based on SDL2
It can only run during initramfs to unlock LUKS or something. What a scam.
qml-module-qtquick-virtualkeyboard, qt6-virtualkeyboard, qtvirtualkeyboard5
They all install only DLLs. I have no idea how to even use them. What a joke.
squeekboard
Not tested, it’s for Wayland. Apparently very customisable, but won’t pick up the xkb layout.
xvkbd
Enters chars but is not compatible with ISO_Level3_Shift-based layouts; rather it would want Mode_switch-based ones, so it might do well with the xmodmap layout.
