New Aquarius M10 owner.. Love it but was also confused when no keyboard was available for Firefox, LibreOffice and gEdit.. An on screen keyboard we could slide up and down would be great.. Similar to terminal app or even this text box I'm typing into on this page.. When I touch the comment box the keyboard pops up.. Very cool...keep up the great work! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1543351 Title: Add on-screen-keyboard support for Xmir/Puritine apps Status in Canonical Pocket Desktop: New Status in Ubuntu UX: New Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: From perspective of product management - this is currently not a requirement, just want to capture it for future we currently can't interact with puritine apps relying on the OSK to add this feature in where text-box selection on an xapp results in triggering the osk, in unity8 would be a very large/complicated effort.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1543351] Re: Add on-screen-keyboard support for Xmir/Puritine apps
Hi all, I bought a "cooler" BQ Aquaris FHD recently. Is workaround available? e.g. install or bring up a OSK manually (possibly only in Desktop mode)? As another idea for improvement (as this problems was known before "release" / sale): I as a (Ubuntu Touch store) customer would appriciate notification mails pointing me to a list of known issues. As well as possible workarounds for known issues (on my device). I wouldn't have expected Apps like Firefox or LibeOffice to work in touch mode if they were only visible in "Desktop Mode" or a clear indicator would be available "requires Keyboard". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1543351 Title: Add on-screen-keyboard support for Xmir/Puritine apps Status in Canonical Pocket Desktop: New Status in Ubuntu UX: New Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: From perspective of product management - this is currently not a requirement, just want to capture it for future we currently can't interact with puritine apps relying on the OSK to add this feature in where text-box selection on an xapp results in triggering the osk, in unity8 would be a very large/complicated effort.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1543351] Re: Add on-screen-keyboard support for Xmir/Puritine apps
Hmm, I think that just about covers it actually. Providing we're only talking about apps that work with input methods on Unity7 already, we're just missing a Unity8 frontend for those input methods (Brandon knows the APIs but I forget what they're called). It would not matter if the app is running inside Xmir, it should just work and talk to the Unity8 frontend that's providing an OSK (or other input method). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1543351 Title: Add on-screen-keyboard support for Xmir/Puritine apps Status in Canonical Pocket Desktop: New Status in Ubuntu UX: New Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: From perspective of product management - this is currently not a requirement, just want to capture it for future we currently can't interact with puritine apps relying on the OSK to add this feature in where text-box selection on an xapp results in triggering the osk, in unity8 would be a very large/complicated effort.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1543351] Re: Add on-screen-keyboard support for Xmir/Puritine apps
Actually, this isn't just an Xmir issue. It could be needed for any non- Qt app running on Touch. Normally it's just the app's toolkit that sets this up so it would not seem like Xmir needs to get involved. But there might be some level of Xmir involvement in the conversation between the X app and the shell. On the other hand, we could just add one OSK button (to rule them all) that Xmir and other non-integrated toollkits could benefit from. As a third option - Could we make Unity8 just provide an OSK show/hide button/panel in the case that it detects a non-integrated app? It's worth noting still that the backend-frontend design of input methods means that Xmir probably won't be involved in this enhancement. Just the backend that your Gnome-app-in-Xmir uses talks to the frontend that is the Unity8 OSK. ** Changed in: xorg-server (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1543351 Title: Add on-screen-keyboard support for Xmir/Puritine apps Status in Canonical Pocket Desktop: New Status in Ubuntu UX: New Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: From perspective of product management - this is currently not a requirement, just want to capture it for future we currently can't interact with puritine apps relying on the OSK to add this feature in where text-box selection on an xapp results in triggering the osk, in unity8 would be a very large/complicated effort.
