Mobile Linux question
Anybody had any luck getting Stevia (the onscreen keyboard that currently comes with Phosh, at least on PostmarketOS) to run on GNOME Mobile?
Phosh is OK, but I'm more used to the design language & tooling of GNOME, even on mobile. On the flip side of that, trying Phosh let me see how useful Stevia could be.
I'm not dead-set against Phosh, just don't want to expend the effort on transferring my whole workflow to it while it has some interface behaviors/conventions I find a bit less than intuitive (no close button on windows/apps, but like GNOME offers but Phosh makes necessary, the expectation to swipe up to close apps).
I may or may not save the frustration over re-setting muscle memory for the Sailfish OS interface on a Jolla phone. In the meantime, I like Stevia over GNOME's default onscreen keyboard, and wonder if it's possible to switch between them while maintaining GNOME as my mobile DE.
I should point out, I've searched documentation and it shows how to switch between Phosh's old OSK Squeekerboard & back, but while search confirms (as I knew) that Phosh is a fork of GNOME, it says nothing of using Stevia *on* GNOME. I've been able to install Stevia and its dependencies, and then the Phosh default OSK meta-package, too. But with no direct OSK (meta-?)package for the GNOME OSK to replace, I'm left asking this question to folks who might know, cuz the GNOME keyboard is always what comes up no matter after logging out & back in, rebooting, etc., and no alternative seems to exist in the Keyboard section of Settings (and there is no Keyboard section of Tweaks).

@dos Thanks! Trying out Phosh more deeply now. Wish xdg-desktop-portal-phosh included Background portal support, but maybe that’s an architectural thing for Phosh.
