Wake up the virtual keyboard on linux

I use onboard virtual keyboard, when editing with lineedit, the keyboard does not show up, I only use small touch display devices.

I'm not sure how this is supposed to work. We should call the windowing system function to show the keybaord. (eg: winit:window::Window::set_ime_allowed ) It seems that onboard uses the gnome accessibility hook, not sure if we implement that correctly

Well, Slint already call that function, but that doesn't have any effect for onboard it seems

Are there any alternatives, hopefully without using a usb keyboard for touch input?
