   The compositor needs to support the virtual-keyboard-unstable-v1 protocol. It looks like mutter (the Gnome compositor) does not implement this yet. I do not see an issue about this in their Gitlab repository, so it might be a good idea to ask there

   Other than that, it should work on any wlroots-based compositor (provided the protocol support gets properly initialized). Not sure about KDE.

   One way to check is by running wev -g and looking for something like:

   [02:     wl_registry] global: interface: 'zwp_virtual_keyboard_manager_v1', version: 1, name: 30
   

   in its output.

   I wish that the Readme had the info about wtype not working on Gnome

   Someone already requested support for it in mutter#1974. Upstream said it's unlikely this will be supported and recommended using libei instead.

   the same error on KDE, all systems updated today, 2024-11-18
   wtype 0.4-2

   so if it doesn't work on KDE, and not on GNOME, which are around 60% of the DE, what does it do work with?
