maliit-keyboard with Google Chrome

I've got a Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga Gen 2 with KDE Plasma Wayland session, which is set up perfectly for me in desktop mode.  In tablet mode, I've nearly got a perfect setup as well, using maliit-keyboard for my on-screen keyboard needs.

Out of the box, it worked for KDE apps but neither Google Chrome (my preferred browser), nor Firefox.

From the advice here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/n … foxchrome/

I added `MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1`  into /etc/environment, and rebooted.  maliit-keyboard now works for Firefox, but still does not work in Google Chrome.

My expectation is to be able to tap into any text field, especially the URL/search field, and have maliit-keyboard pop up like it does in Firefox and KDE apps (tested with Kate and konsole).

How can I achieve this?

Re: maliit-keyboard with Google Chrome

Does it work when you launch Google Chrome with native Wayland support?

Re: maliit-keyboard with Google Chrome

I've got similar problems. maliit keyboard working fine nearly everywhere, except for chromium. Looking at

journalctl -xef

seems like it is indeed triggered, though.
