Hi, I am using the QT VirtualKeyboard in QML application and it works fine on my desktop. When deployed into production machine (kiosk) that runs X without Window Manager , the keyboard shows but when I press buttons nothing comes into the text area. In console I can see 'no input method set' When I added a simple window manager to the kiosk , virtualkeyboard worked just fine. Is there anyway to get it working without WM ? Is it a focus issue ? Thanks

Hi and welcome to devnet, I'd recommend bringing this question to the interest mailing list . You'll find there QtVirtualKeyboard developers/maintainers. This forum is more user oriented.
