Re: QtVirtualKeyboard on Plasma Wayland

[Devin]

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.

https://invent.kde.org/apol/qvk

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

Re: Plasma 6.3.3

[Devin]

kwin appears to have PROJECT_VERSION still set to 6.3.2 in its
CMakeLists.txt

This causes building plasma-mobile to fail because it needs kwin 6.3.3

Thanks,
Devin
