In what scenario does the keyboard appear? Do you mean the virtual keyboard in sddm
?
Yes, SDDM. I have the same problem. The virtual keyboard covers the login dialog. Every time I try to login, the keyboard pops up and blocks the view. I enabled it once and don't know how to disable it.

Ah, I know that problem. My workaround is the following:
services.xserver.displayManager.sddm.extraConfig = ''
[General]
InputMethod=
'';
The manpage (sddm.conf (5)
) tells the following about this option:
InputMethod=
Set the Qt input method for the greeter. Tablet users with Qt Virtual Keyboard installed can set this to "qtvirtualkeyboard" for the on-screen keyboard. Other known values are "ibus" for the Intelligent Input Bus, or "compose" for dead keys support. Leave this empty if unsure.
Thanx Richard. I'm back in business.
InputMethod=
did the trick.
Thank you for your contributions.

This is still relevant. Disabling my fix still opens up the keyboard by default.

Still happens 2024 with sddm if I set a custom theme.
Edit:
To fix with newer versions of sddm settings I had to add this to configuration:
services.xserver.displayManager.sddm.settings = {
General = {
InputMethod="";
};
};
