Hey Aleix, I think this is a very good idea! It could also help isolate any issues that are specific to the keyboard and not to KWin. Maliit has been pretty slow moving so it can also be worth trying out some new ideas here (ex. swipe to type).

However, I thought it would be beneficial to develop an alternative using QtVirtualKeyboard. https://invent.kde.org/apol/qvk Consider this a PoC, I think it can be useful to make sure we're compatible with a number of different keyboards. It's also a good way to explore such an important but ignored part of our UX. :) If you find it useful, tell me either here or in the repo's issues and we'll see what needs to be done to make it properly useful for everyone. Cheers! Aleix
