For now, I use Qtvkbd who works on Xorg and Wayland (if you follow the solution
I gave above). I tried qtvkbd on the login screen and it works but I can't use
it with the InputMethod line found in the sddm.conf file (so I don't have the
option in the lower left corner to enable qtvkbd on the login screen). If a kde
developer can tell us a method to use another Virtual Keyboard with sddm.conf,
I'll take it.

Qtvkbd is better than the default virtual keyboard.
