On windows 10 there is an icon in the bottom bar that invokes the OSK. I
can think of situations you want to invoke it that are not textfield
related. Perhaps we could add an icon in the indicators?

And I agree, there should probably be a system setting for auto-invoking
it which you can turn on/off. Creating a new bug and assigning a UX
designer on this

Title:
  No way to invoke OSK when a hardware keyboard is connected

Status in canonical-pocket-desktop:
  Incomplete
Status in Ubuntu UX:
  New
Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  There are mice on the market that claim to be keyboards as well. This
  inhibits OSK. We can try and find out how many keys they have and be
  smart about it.

  Regardless, we should have a way of forcing the OSK, especially on
  touch-enabled devices. Whether it's triggered by a touch (as opposed
  to mouse click) on the text area, or with a button in the text field
  (replaced with the clear icon when you start typing). Another option
  is the copy/paste dropdown.

  We should also define what happens when focusing a text field after
  the user forced the OSK to show up. Does it come up every time until
  the user dismisses it? Or only when they force it?

  == original description ==

  1. Boot nexus 7
  2. In the login screen, test that OSK works by tapping the password textfield
  3. swipe keyboard back down after testing it works
  4. Turn on Bluetooth mouse to get a mouse cursor
  5. Click on password textfield

  OSK doesn't pop up, touch tapping on the field doesn't bring up the
  OSK anymore either.

  ie. The login screen is not usable with mouse connected - cannot type
  in password via OSK since it doesn't come up when clicking the
  password textfield with mouse.

  See attached screenshot. Focus on textfield. Would expect OSK to show
  up.
