Virtual keyboard not showing on non-KDE apps

Hi,

Maliit is selected in virtual keyboard settings, it shows up when using a KDE app like Dolphin or Konsole, but it doesn't show up when using a non-KDE app like VLC or Discord.

How to fix this ?

Thanks

Wayland, on KDE neon 6. Thanks

@KaKi87 Those apps are probably running under X11. Make sure they are running with native Wayland support, for Chromium apps you should add --ozone-platform=wayland --enable-wayland-ime to the command line arguments.

How do I check these ?

Where ?

Thanks

Unfortunately, it's not changing anything, also I'm using BetterDiscord. Thanks

I already checked and there are plugins I'd miss very much.

Anyway, it's not just Discord, but any Electron app, like Element for Matrix, Signal, etc. the additional command-line arguments don't work on these either.

And what about VLC ? Also, my browser is Brave, also Chromium-based, on which the virtual keyboard doesn't appear either.

Thanks
