Description Florian Hubold 2025-05-11 18:21:55 CEST 
Description of problem:

Currently we only have maliit-framework packaged. The maliit project also offers an actual virtual keyboard (which seems to be the only virtual keyboard for touch devices that works properly in a wayland session) but that is not packaged yet, as it's a different repository below https://github.com/maliit

A user in the forum tested the attached package for maliit-keyboard and confirmed it to be working as expected. See also https://forums.mageia.org/en/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=15654

Thank you for the report, your work, and the important +ve user feedback.
This seems a necessary (rather than optional) addition. As such, leaving the priority as 'normal' rather than 'enhancement'.
