Hello,

I am expecting that tapping on an input component would trigger the On-Screen Keyboard to appears, but this functionality is currently not working as intended in touch screen.

Any One Have A Idea Please Provide.

Thanks in advance!.

For Perspective, it uses the OS keyboard I believe. On Windows, we will usually put the HMIs in 'Tablet Mode' and then the OS recognizes it needs to use the on screen keyboard. I'm sure there's something equivalent for Linux, but I'm not as familiar.

I’ve created an idea for a built in Perspective keyboard
