Hm, I guess I got some things mixed up - sorry!

When I asked I wasn't thinking about a situation phosh has been in docked mode: It had an external keyboard connected, but no hdmi output.

That makes the situation even worth: the tiny screen is occupied by the virtual keyboard - even though I'm using an external one.

I guess we'd need more modes then "docked" and "undocked".

There should be a difference handling for attaching external monitors and external keyboards.

@chrichri @agx @purism Depending on how you connect your keyboard, you can hack on /usr/bin/osk-wayland (that's the shell script that calls squeekboard) to disable keyboard while your keyboard is connected. It's defintely possible with USB keyboards, likely with bluetooth, too.

@linmob @chrichri @purism no need to modify any scripts: 'gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.a11y.applications screen-keyboard-enabled false'

@agx @chrichri @purism Wouldn't that permanently disable the virtual keyboard? Or would it be "fine" because the virtual keyboard can be manually triggered after disconnecting the hardware keyboard?

@linmob @agx @purism
My attempt would be to use udev to react to the event of connecting a keyboard to issue the gsettings command...

@agx @linmob @purism

Thanks a lot! I'll try that.
