The on-screen keyboard doesn't seem to automatically pop-out when entering a text field inside TouchKio.
For me it also doesn't work in the chromium browser.

I think this is a general issue with the keyboard, as not all applications are supported yet:

Another issue is that even when it gets activated, any fullscreen window will overlay the keyboard.
Therefore I added a custom MQTT control to pop-out the keyboard and temporarily change the kiosk window mode from fullscreen to maximized. See #7 for further details.

The side panel widget #16 can also be used to activate the keyboard.
