Hmm, I think that just about covers it actually. Providing we're only talking about apps that work with input methods on Unity7 already, we're just missing a Unity8 frontend for those input methods (Brandon knows the APIs but I forget what they're called). It would not matter if the app is running inside Xmir, it should just work and talk to the Unity8 frontend that's providing an OSK (or other input method).

However, with a manual capability to trigger the OSK this could be achieved. For design team one idea was to add a show/hide button for the OSK. realizing this may be undesirable to add another indicator item - a follow-on idea might be to add an alpha button in the corner of the xmir-root window (the window that holds any xapp at the moment) this way the button presence would only be limited to the Xapp interaction.
