I had a Pi4 lying around that I no longer needed for a task. So I decided to use my Pi4 as a Kiosk. However, I need an onscreen keyboard. How do I get an on-screen keyboard to work in Kiosk mode?
I found this but it doesn't work in Kiosk mode

EDIT Oct 24
OK!
i figured out how to invoke the on-screen keyboard using the MIDDLE (scroll-wheel) button.
ADD this to wayfire.ini
binding_osk = BTN_MIDDLE
command_osk = /usr/bin/toggle-wvkbd.sh
NOTE: the binding can be BTN_LEFT, BTN_RIGHT or BTN_MIDDLE
took some digging, but it works ! (at least on my PI4-8G with Bookworm.)
YMMV
So, a kiosk user can click the middle mouse button to bring up the OSK
