With a workaround you can use Onboard. You still need Maliit for the lock screen.

But yeah, the keyboard situation on KDE is abysmal. I've seen a little bit of movement on some of the Maliit bug reports. But nothing substantial yet.

On my Steam Deck I use Steam's keyboard most of the time, Onboard when I need special keys and Maliit for the lock screen.

Should be in /usr/share/applicatons. Copy it to ~/.local/share/applications to edit it.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
