  • Tapping a text field brings up the phone's own keyboard, and the desktop fits above it, so the field stays in sight. Swipe back to put it away.
  • On-screen keyboard in the Applications menu opens it for apps that don't ask on their own.
  • With a monitor attached, the same text fields open the Android keyboard over the trackpad.
  • Apps report focused text fields over the accessibility bus (AT-SPI): at-spi2-core and python3-pyatspi join the OS, and existing installs get them once, on the next launch with a connection.
  • Builds on Working sudo, mouse on the external display and wheel scrolling #8. Same keyboard in Local Desktop: Android keyboard on the phone's screen localdesktop.github.io#349

The Android keyboard with the Applications menu

Known: the Terminal doesn't report its text area as one, so any focus in the Terminal opens the keyboard. The accessibility bus adds 4 processes to the session (its launcher, bus and registry, and the listener).
