After installing qtvirtualkeyboard-plugin and exporting QT_VIRTUALKEYBOARD_STYLE, we still do not see a keyboard icon in the top left of the Plasma Mobile desktop. Similarly, we do not see the icon after manually enabling the keyboard with: $ qdbus org.kde.KWin /VirtualKeyboard org.kde.kwin.VirtualKeyboard.enable However, after enabling the keyboard with the above qdbus command, we see the keyboard pop up when a text field is clicked (like the search bar, kwrite, konsole) but then the keyboard immediately goes away. Also in the lock screen, I see the virtual keyboard icon in the bottom left. When I click it, the virtual keyboard appears and does not disappear. Then I can type in the password (using Ctrl+Super to guide my mouse) to log back in. So the virtual keyboard works, but when in the desktop session the keyboard goes away right after it appears. Any troubleshooting advice you have would be helpful. Cheers, Heather
