Virtual keyboard not showing on non-KDE apps (jlai.lu)

Hi,

Maliit is selected in virtual keyboard settings, it shows up when using a KDE app like Dolphin or Konsole, but it doesn't show up when using a non-KDE app like VLC or Discord.

How to fix this ?

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.

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.
