Does anybody know how I can activate Maliit (Plasma's default on-screen keyboard) under SteamOS Desktop Mode? I have the impression that all my typos are because Steam's provided keyboard (STEAM+X) is not registering key presses correctly and I want to try an alternative.

/usr/lib/maliit exists but all the usual guides I found don't work...

Same goes for the trackpad settings and bindings being dependent on Steam.

Yeah and considering that there is an obvious race condition with the left trackpad where it tries to scroll both up and down at the same time suggests that SteamOS developers don't even use their own product.
