Swipe to type would be an absolutely amazing feature to get. I struggle
to want to use my Linux phone because of this reason. I've checked out
this repo and compiled it and will provide feedback in the coming days.

Hey Aleix,
I think this is a very good idea! It could also help isolate any
issues that are specific to the keyboard and not to KWin. Maliit has
been pretty slow moving so it can also be worth trying out some new
ideas here (ex. swipe to type).
Thanks,
Devin

Hi,
In recent years, we've relied heavily on Maliit as our primary virtual
keyboard. However, I thought it would be beneficial to develop an
alternative using QtVirtualKeyboard.

Consider this a PoC, I think it can be useful to make sure we're
compatible with a number of different keyboards. It's also a good way
to explore such an important but ignored part of our UX. :)
If you find it useful, tell me either here or in the repo's issues and
we'll see what needs to be done to make it properly useful for
everyone.
Cheers!
Aleix
