Squeekboard was developed for Phosh, so it was developed with mobile gnome in mind. So I would think it would work pretty well on Gnome.

I don't think Maliit is that bad, but then again, I just need a basic keyboard when on a touch screen.

wait until u need function keys

[-] Strit@lemmy.linuxuserspace.show 2 points 3 months ago

Sure. But even Android or Windows' onscreen keyboard does not do those properly.

really? i had no problems using functions keys on android with unexpected keyboard

I don't have function keys in the default Android keyboard. So you likely installed an app that has those as an extra feature. Itø's not common on onscreen keyboards.

I think we are misunderstanding eachother. I'm talking about the default keyboards on a platform and you are talking about installing other ones with advanced functionality.

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.
