Hi guys,

new to inductive...

We are working on a linux kiosk touch-screen device (rhel 9.5 with gnome desktop) where the app that will display will a in-house application web page. The web page will include everything needed and **we don't want that on-screen keyboard pop up** when typing into the page.

How can we do that ?

We try using the OS settings but didn't work

- Disabling in accessibility section of settings
- Disabling using the .basrc or .bash\_profile
- Try disabling using gsettings options

We saw some gnome extension for it..but really not sure if it will work..

Hope somebody can help us

I had to use the extension "Block Caribou" to disable it. Make sure you get the right version for your version of Gnome.
