I have just released new flatpak runner with Sailfish keyboard support. The keyboard required
  • Having DBus service running in P2P mode for communication of Sailfish application rotation and activity state
  • Modified Maliit Qt plugin inside Flatpak container to trigger keyboard and rotate it

It could still have some issues with the keyboard, but those could be resolved later. I presume it should also work with the hardware keyboard device as it should be configured on Maliit server side (residing on SFOS).

So, right now we can use QML/Qt apps with the keyboard. Keyboard follows application screen orientation, hides when you switch away from it, can be used to enter chars.

Example packaging script for Angelfish is in the separate repository, https://github.com/sailfishos-flatpak/example-apps
