Description Carlos Garnacho 2015-03-10 18:10:59 UTC
When the mutter patches from bug #712775 are in place, it will be possible to make gnome-shell implement keyboard visibility without relying on g-s-d dbus interfaces, I'm attaching a patch doing that.

keyboard: Listen to MetaBackend::last-device-changed for OSK changes

Instead of listening to a dbus property exported by g-s-d, listen to the
MetaBackend signal telling the last interacted device, and make sure we
only show the keyboard for touchscreens.

otherwise looks good

search() creates a regex object which isn't necessary here. I'd just use indexOf() or includes()

We should probably initialize this somehow, querying the device manager for a touchscreen device. In practice it's probably not a problem since the OSK isn't supposed to be shown when the shell starts but only when something gets focus and by then the user should have already used the touch screen...
Comment 3 Carlos Garnacho 2015-03-13 20:15:02 UTC
Pushing with the indexOf/semicolon changes. lastDeviceId has been initialized to null. I wasn't sure what default value should we look for there, and focusing windows/text fields will surely require user interaction anyway.
