[Kde-accessibility] Support for onscreen keyboard

[Frederik Gladhorn]

Hi Kyle,

form my understanding Maliit should work on desktop just fine. That is why I asked. If it works good, we should simply adapt and embrace it for KDE.
If it doesn't we need to find a better solution.

Cheers
Frederik

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.
