[SOLVED] No on-screen keyboard on the 7-inch local display?

[Nutul]

I was never able to figure out how to automatically install a virtual keyboard extension for chromium-browser as part of building the image but you can try the steps below to manually install one.

1. Connect a keyboard
2. Press Ctrl-t to open a new chromium tab
3. Enter the URL chrome://extensions and then search for and install the xontab virtual keyboard extension
4. Reboot

Thanks Tim,

I'll definitely try that.
If it doesn't work (or it's too heavy, btw...) I can try to tweak a simple virtual keyboard I have written some time ago for a different project, and see if it can do the trick.

Cheers, Al.
