[2.0.76][Linux][kde plasma 6.7] Virtual keyboard prevents keyboard inputs.

Post by Forest_Nova »

Description:
I have just updated to plasma kde 6.7 and it introduced the feature of virtual keyboards.
Factorio stops acepting keyboard inputs, Most being all letter & numbers, not the function and modiefier keys.
preventing the character from moving around.

Workaround:
Disabling the virutal keyboard allows the keyboard inputs to be accepted again.

Misc:
It seems to have to do with the new feature that gives acces to alternate character popups, I have not tried my entire steam library but this is so far the only game where this is a problem (also the only linux native game)
I am running Fedora, kde plasma wayland 6.7

Speculation:
It seems like the entire game is seen as some form of text box input, and isn't picking up / getting send the inputs.

If the virtual keyboard is in use, and my cursor is within a menu search box than holding a key does bring up the ligature menu, on the top left of the screen

Thanks for the report, fixed for 2.1. In the meantime you can work around it by disabling the virtual keyboard as you mentioned.
