Virtual Keyboard app for Steam Deck and other touchscreen devices.
Working (albeit still WIP) as of Picotron v0.1.0e but not v0.1.0f due to changes in wm. I haven't looked into how much is different but I do know that the way I was switching workspaces is no longer exposed as an event within wm, so that kills the project dead somewhat.
I'm not upset because Picotron is in flux and it was always possible that this could happen. However I feel a virtual keyboard is a must for handheld devices in the future as Picotron is totally unusable without one. Yes, the Steam Deck has a virtual keyboard built into Steam, but hitting Return hides it, so it is impractical. Plus it doesn't have cursor keys which this did.
If anyone can make use of it in the future then that's great. I think I'll have a break from writing apps and focus on games.
