💡 Quick Handy Tip
On GNOME, you can enable an on-screen keyboard. For this, go to Settings ➝ Accessibility ➝ Typing. Here, enable “Screen Keyboard”. Alternatively, it can be done from the top panel by clicking on the accessibility menu.
Now, on most text fields, you will get the on-screen keyboard. It can also show suggested words in a dropdown menu near the cursor when a regular physical keyboard is used.
During testing, the on-screen keyboard was not showing up when being used with Chromium-based web browsers.
