With a workaround you can use Onboard. You still need Maliit for the lock screen.

But yeah, the keyboard situation on KDE is abysmal. I've seen a little bit of movement on some of the Maliit bug reports. But nothing substantial yet.

On my Steam Deck I use Steam's keyboard most of the time, Onboard when I need special keys and Maliit for the lock screen.

i get "ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/lib64/libextest.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32): ignored." running onboard

Should be in /usr/share/applicatons. Copy it to ~/.local/share/applications to edit it.

you mean a virtual keyboard?

I use onboard in the rare occasions I need it; it has the modifiers of a physical keyboard
