--- Comment #2 from Nate Graham <nate at kde.org> ---
There were a few issues with this button that are fixed for touch users with
the fixes for Bug 466969 that will be released tomorrow with Plasma 5.26.3.

However there's still an issue when you *click* the button. KWin receives the
signal to show the virtual keyboard, but ignores it because the input event
associated with it wasn't a touch event. We'll probably need a way to
communicate to KWin that we want to force it to show anyway with no event
filtering.
