On-Screen Keyboard Doesn't Show Automatically in Flatpak Version #385

Open jmlich opened 3 months ago

jmlich commented 3 months ago

During tests of the Flatpak version of Amazfish on Phosh, I noticed that the on-screen keyboard doesn't open automatically when a TextField is entered.

I observed the same issue mentioned in a review on GNOME Software, which gave the application a 2 out of 5 stars rating.

The workaround is to open the on-screen keyboard manually by long pressing on the bottom edge of the screen.

I am not sure if the issue lies inside of Amazfish's QML components, the Flatpak KDE platform integration, or in postmarketOS/Phosh.

On sailfish, when running flatpak apps, we had a custom input method plugin for integrating the keyboard. might the same be needed on phosh? does it happen to other kirigami apps?

I still view the Flatpak packaging of Amazfish as a proof of concept. My intention was to try it out and, if successful, use it on my desktop to enhance my debugging workflow. The outcome is that it works and can be used on the desktop, but it is complicated for debugging. Additionally, the daemon runs only as a background process and terminates when the window is closed. I hope that a Flatpak package user will take up the challenge.
