Bug ID: 513915
Summary: plasma-keyboard has no easy way to access cursor keys
and tab key,
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version First 6.5.4
Reported In:
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Keyboard Layout widget
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]

Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
(Sorry for likely reporting this in the wrong location, but the invent.kde.org
bug tracker of plasma-keyboard doesn't seem to allow access for outsiders.) The
new plasma-keyboard has no obvious way to access cursor keys or the tab key,
hence making it very difficult to use a basic terminal. The special keys don't
need to be easy to access, so for example they could be hidden on the numbers
pane with some corner button that brings up a third pane. It already helps a
lot if they're available in any manner at all.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Enable plasma-keyboard in KDE settings
2. See plasma-keyboard pop up when you click or tap some text element in some
app
3. Try to input a tab key press or a cursor key press
OBSERVED RESULT
There is no obvious way to do these special key presses.
EXPECTED RESULT
There is a relatively obvious way to use cursor keys or the tab key. The menu
key for the context menu would also be nice, since some apps fail to implement
long press and may put essential functionality only in the context menu.
