- VisibilityController: show on field focus, dismiss until next focus, manual show/hide/toggle overrides - FloatingWindow: resize from the corner grip, clamp to screen - WindowSettings: geometry per screen, debounced saves - DBusControl: org.sloposk.Keyboard Show/Hide/Toggle for global shortcuts - org.sloposk.keyboard.desktop so System Settings lists it as a virtual keyboard - README with build/run/layout docs Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

# sloposk
|
|
|
|
iPad-style floating on-screen keyboard for Plasma Wayland. Qt 6, C++ core, QML UI.
|
|
|
|
- Flick a key down for its secondary symbol; long-press for accented alternates
|
|
- iOS shift: tap = one letter, double-tap = caps lock, hold = shift while held
|
|
- Auto-capitalization, double-space → ". ", backspace repeat → word delete
|
|
- Long-press space = trackpad; slide from `.?123` onto a symbol and release
|
|
- Floating: drag the bottom bar, resize from the corner; geometry is remembered per screen
|
|
|
|
## Build & test
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
cmake -B build -G Ninja && cmake --build build
|
|
ctest --test-dir build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Needs Qt ≥ 6.8 (Quick, WaylandClient, DBus, Test), LayerShellQt, xkbcommon, wayland-protocols.
|
|
|
|
## Run
|
|
|
|
KWin only offers the input-method protocol to the process it launches itself.
|
|
|
|
| Where | How |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| Nested session (safe) | `kwin_wayland --no-lockscreen --socket sloposk-dev --width 1400 --height 900 --inputmethod $PWD/build/src/sloposk kwrite` |
|
|
| Desktop | `cmake --install build --prefix ~/.local`, then System Settings → Keyboard → Virtual Keyboard → **sloposk** |
|
|
| UI only | `build/src/sloposk` (stays visible, types nowhere) |
|
|
|
|
Show/hide, e.g. from a global shortcut: `qdbus org.sloposk.Keyboard /Keyboard org.sloposk.Keyboard.Toggle`
|
|
|
|
Dev hooks: `SLOPOSK_AUTOTYPE=text` commits on focus; `SLOPOSK_SCREENSHOT=file.png` saves the window and quits.
|
|
|
|
## Layouts
|
|
|
|
JSON in `layouts/` (built in) or `~/.local/share/sloposk/layouts/` (overrides by `id`). The globe key cycles them; the system locale's comes first.
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"id": "sv-SE", "name": "Svenska", "locale": "sv_SE",
|
|
"base": "en-US",
|
|
"layers": [{"name": "letters", "rows": [[
|
|
"q",
|
|
{"label": "e", "flick": "3", "alternates": ["é", "è"]},
|
|
{"type": "backspace", "width": 1.5}
|
|
]]}]
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- Key: a string, or an object with `type` (`char` `space` `backspace` `enter` `shift` `layer` `globe` `dismiss` `spacer`), `label`, `shifted`, `flick`, `alternates`, `width` (key units), `target` (for `layer`)
|
|
- `base`: take layers this layout doesn't define (e.g. numbers/symbols) from another layout
|
|
- Rows in a layer should add up to the same width; `tst_layoutloader` checks the built-ins
|
|
|
|
## Architecture
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
qml/ view only
|
|
input/ touch → PointerTracker gestures → KeyboardController rules
|
|
engine/ key output → text ops (DirectEngine; prediction/swipe later)
|
|
backend/ text ops → compositor (KWin input-method-v1)
|
|
layout/ JSON → Layout → LayoutModel (geometry, hit testing)
|
|
window/ floating layer-shell placement, visibility, saved geometry
|
|
app/ D-Bus control, dev hooks
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`sloposk_core` (everything compositor-independent, plus the `Sloposk` QML module) is a static library shared by the app and the tests.
