On your device, does the onscreen keyboard work at all in SFOS? As for interaction between physical keyboard and Maliit, I hope somebody will chip in and explain how the layout is setup. Note that in Flatpak solution, we have maliit plugin partially running inside Flatpak and is installed via extension. I presume you did install the extension.

As for suitable apps, it gets asked frequently. I am not going to reply to it as this does not scale - I cannot repeat my replies every time. Instead, I expect that the new users would take time and read few pages back in history. It could be even ten pages, but only that way we can be sure that the developers don't repeat their replies and spend time on it instead of working on the projects.

The physical keyboard from geminipda is a little bit odd. It uses X11 drivers. Look here:
Code:
/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/planet_vndr/gemini
Also the Fn key combinations are not working. Same problem with chroot from elros based on xWayland Victory. I never got it working, but I am not an expert. I copied keyboard config from geminipda-sailfishos and/or geminipda-debian to chroot but had 'illegal keycode' errors from the keymap compiler 'xkbcomp' after doing it. Sometimes the gemini keyboard was working, after removing all key shortcuts from the windows manger, but it never was stable. Needs an expert, I think.
Is it possible to use the gemini key mappings in flatpak?

I read more in this thread and found: flatpak run --command=sh org.kde.mobile.angelfish
And there is is a 'xkbcomp' but 'ls /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/' shows that there is (of course) no 'planet_vdnr' folder. But that gives me the hope it is doable some time.

I have never tried the Debian release for the gemini, but maybe it includes a matching keymap which could just be copied over to the flatpak install?
@ringius Yes thank you of course you are right. I'll read further. On my way to work now, though. 24 shift...

I found this chat app on flathub and looking at it on desktop I thought that it might work for Sailfish, but I keep getting this error message that I do not fully understand.

Please help!


Code:
[nemo@Sailfish ~]$ flatpak install --user chat.delta.desktop
Looking for matches?
Usage: gpg-connect-agent [options] (-h for help)Usage: gpg-connect-agent [options] (-h for help)error: No remote refs found similar to ?chat.delta.desktop?

Heads up: there is something odd with the latest Flatpak platform and/or Angelfish update. Looks like navigation bar settings are reset and I have to figure out why. Don't update unless you want to set the preferences on every Angelfish start

You'll have to look up how to do that. Not sure its trivial as it goes against Flatpak stride to provide standard platforms, but maybe possible. Maybe better way would be to find how to make keyboard keymap to load from some alternative location via some env variable.
