Following the recent announcement of On Screen Keyboard [OSK] support for Ubuntu Frame I have updated egmde to support using the same OSK (Squeekboard).
Assuming you’ve already installed egmde, all you need to use the OSK is:
- (For the next week) update egmde to the
candidate
channel
sudo snap refresh --candidate egmde
- Install Ubuntu Frame OSK
sudo snap install ubuntu-frame-osk
- Add Ubuntu Frame OSK to egmde’s
shell-components
. Edit~/.config/egmde.config
to contain (among your other options) something like:
# Adds the snapped swaybg and waybar to the desktop environment
shell-components=/snap/egmde/current/bin/swaybg.launcher:/snap/egmde/current/bin/waybar.launcher:ubuntu-frame-osk
When you are running Egmde after this, the OSK will appear whenever focus is on an input field.
