squeekboard not visible

[elg34]

Very excited for a sway-phone, these scripts are super useful!

For me squeekboard was invisible when using exec squeekboard in the sway config but it works when adding the file /usr/share/dbus-1/services/sm.puri.OSK0.service [D-BUS Service] Name=sm.puri.OSK0 Exec=/usr/bin/squeekboard

@elg34 I am on postmarketOS, you are using also postmarket? Your solution did nothing for me :/

I am still not sure if I installed it correctly, I just apk add postmarketos-ui-sway and cloned this repo with make install_user

squeekboard only starts the keyboard app, it is initially closed. You can show / hide the keyboard with commands swayphone_keyboard_show and swayphone_keyboard_hide which sends a D-Bus event to the squeekboard.

@freed00m you might be missing the sudo make install_system command.

@Dejvino thx, I keep forgeting the mod key is alt Mod1. Made me testing wrong bindings.

you might be missing the sudo make install_system command

I suspect you 're right, the instructions are oddly brief and confusing

I don't want to use that on yet, I thought installing the package should take care of the rest. It's hard to keep track of changes when once should keep calling make fetch and install_system all the time
