Any virtual keyboard / on-screen keyboard recommendations for Gnome (Wayland) users? The default one doesn't support X11/XWayland apps, which unfortunately is most of them...

    If you're talking about running web-apps in the browser, I found that using environment variable MOZ_USE_XINPUT2=1 solves some of my virtual keyboard issues in Firefox (update I just tried disabling the variable and it works the same...maybe it was just placebo...). For example, if you wanted to run the Librewolf flatpak you can do flatpak run --env=MOZ_USE_XINPUT2=1 io.gitlab.librewolf-community or to set the variable permanently you can do flatpak override --user --env=MOZ_USE_XINPUT2=1 io.gitlab.librewolf-community and then Librewolf will always launch with that option.

    As for Chromium forks, they don't use Wayland yet so that just goes back to the X11 / XWayland issues. Same goes for Electron apps. At least from what I understand from https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/6238. Maybe there's a way to force Chromium/Electron to use Wayland, I haven't tried it yet

    And I'll try Onboard, thanks for the tip

    Update: I tried onboard, and it also didn't work for X11 apps :(
