Check the docs https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtvirtualkeyboard-index.html and make sure your platform is supported.

What has QML to do with QLineEdit?

If you follow the docs, QtVirtualKeyboard will show up for all text inputs in your application, including QLineEdit.

@sierdzio I follow this link the doc is difficult to understand , I follow the
Using Qt Virtual Keyboard with Qt Wayland for see the output of example
and
when I run

QT_XCB_GL_INTEGRATION=xcb_egl QT_WAYLAND_CLIENT_BUFFER_INTEGRATION=xcomposite-egl QT_IM_MODULE=qtvirtualkeyboard ./pure-qml -platform xcb

output is:

qt.qpa.screen: QXcbConnection: Could not connect to display
Could not connect to any X display.

On the guide says

qputenv("QT_IM_MODULE", QByteArray("qtvirtualkeyboard"));


In the desktop integration method, this step is all that is required to use Qt Virtual Keyboard. In the application integration method, the application is required to create an instance of InputPanel as explained in the following chapter.

So I need just add this line to my QT widget project and create input panel for use the keyboard?

As far as I understand, just the qputenv should be enough.

@sierdzio I just add this line to main.cpp but keyboard not opening, should be add qml source file of keyboard to qt widget project?
