I don't have function keys in the default Android keyboard. So you likely installed an app that has those as an extra feature. Itø's not common on onscreen keyboards.
I think we are misunderstanding eachother. I'm talking about the default keyboards on a platform and you are talking about installing other ones with advanced functionality.
like what? i had problems tapping on app icon menus. i had to spam the button which made opening tray apps annoying as its a menu on tap. i also couldnt find a window buttons in panel extension
I mostly subscribe to less fun-hating sorts of places so I didn't think anything of cuting a lil tiny bit 🤷 I guess we've gotta all be sooooper cereal around here or people get upset for reasons 😅 🥣 I'll just assume it's because all of those people are techbros who've been bitten by mice and can't even bring themselves to talk about it.

Squeekboard was developed for Phosh, so it was developed with mobile gnome in mind. So I would think it would work pretty well on Gnome.
I don't think Maliit is that bad, but then again, I just need a basic keyboard when on a touch screen.

Sure. But even Android or Windows' onscreen keyboard does not do those properly.

There are a number of GNOME extensions to make it behave almost exactly like KDE if that's what you're after

There are some older DE-agnostic virtual keyboards (svkbd, xvkbd, matchbox), but they may not work in Wayland, if that's what you're using.

ya. i need wayland. i tried x11 and it was terrible for touch
