using a software virtual keyboard with chromium

[Thierry GAYET]

Hi,

I am working an environment that only have a touch screen keybaord (no physical one).

I have tested the florence virtual keybaord (gtk based) that seem quite good for accessibility.

My goal if to manage a full screen homepage using chromium in kiosk mode (fullscreen) driving over a software virtual keyboard (no hardware).

It works fine when i am requesting manually the focus of the virtual keybaord.

in the practise, there is not auto show/hide of the VK.

Do you know is there is a a working keyboard for my use case ?

Is there any specify settings to enable accessibility for virtual keyboard ?

Btw, i have added a policy for enabling virtual keybaord :

/etc/chromium/policies/managed/etc/policy.json
{
  "URLBlacklist": ["chrome://*", "file://*"],
  "VirtualKeyboardEnabled": true,
  "AllowFileSelectionDialogs": false
}

I have seen that some accessibility with at-spi2 and atk-1.0 could be a solution but what is the state of this feature ?

Thanks in advance for your reply.

Regards

Thierry
