[2.0.76][Linux][kde plasma 6.7] Virtual keyboard prevents keyboard inputs.
Posted: Fri Jun 19, 2026 3:23 pm
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
