Looks like it's been disabled for at least 6 years: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gsettings-desktop- schemas/-/blob/master/schemas/org.gnome.desktop.a11y.applications.gschema.xml.in?ref_type=heads
so whether or not it gets toggled automatically is probably up to gnome- shell. ** Changed in: gsettings-desktop-schemas (Ubuntu) Status: New => Won't Fix ** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium => Low -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to gsettings-desktop-schemas in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2063005 Title: Onscreen keyboard is disabled by default Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Starting in GNOME 46 touchscreen input on the X11 session has become unusable the touchscreen is responsive on the desktop itself (moving the cursor) but does not interact with most things on GNOME 46 on the current version of Ubuntu Noble, touch input does NOT work with: - On screen keyboard (touch is registered but no keystrokes get input) - clicking options in gnome appindicators (indicators can be opened but clicking any option does nothing) - interacting with application overview (cannot press left and right buttons or search bar) - selecting textboxs - any of the touch gestures (eg: swipe up from bottom to bringup keyboard) All of the above worked just fine on GNOME 45 on Ubuntu Mantic (and Ubuntu Noble from March and earlier before it was "upgraded" to GNOME 46). Tested on a fresh image as well as an old image from February running GNOME 45 upgraded to the latest packages with GNOME 46 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/2063005/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
