Hello Frederik,

     If Maliit will work with the Plasma Active API that's great.  I'm 
really interested in seeing KDE have a virtual/onscreen keyboard with 
enhanced features for the disabled.  I can type faster on my Android 
phone (word completion) compared to using xvkbd or kvkbd.  I use to use 
kvkbd but the pressing of the buttons became too sensitive.


Thanks,
Kyle
