Virtual keyboard not showing on non-KDE apps

@KaKi87 · 3 months ago

Those apps are probably running under X11. Make sure they are running with native Wayland support

How do I check these ?

for Chromium apps you should add --ozone-platform=wayland --enable-wayland-ime to the command line arguments

Where ?

Thanks

/usr/bin/discord --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland --enable-wayland-ime you should be able to add it via editing it in the application launcher. But alternatively, I recommend trying out Vesktop.

Unfortunately, it’s not changing anything, also I’m using BetterDiscord. Thanks

There’s actually a lot of overlap between Vesktop/Vencord & BetterDiscord as the devs tend to contribute to each other.

I already checked and there are plugins I’d miss very much.

fair enough.

Anyway, it’s not just Discord, but any Electron app, like Element for Matrix, Signal, etc. the additional command-line arguments don’t work on these either.

And what about VLC ? Also, my browser is Brave, also Chromium-based, on which the virtual keyboard doesn’t appear either.

Thanks

But what about the virtual keyboard ?

I’ve been looking through the docs and BRs, etc. and can’t seem to find info on your specific issue, I did find this but it maybe unrelated. Maybe worth reporting.
