I was looking at seeing how the two keyboards compare and I found that F42 plasma-mobile wouldn't let me switch virtual keyboards.
Both plasma-keyboard and maliit-keyboard showed up in the switchng keyboard page, but I couldn't select the other keyboard.
I/we need to investigate so when the time comes, we can switch easier.

Yes, as things stand, plasma-keyboard cannot fully replace maliit-keyboard on SDDM. Last I heard the reason for it was the PAM config for SDDM can either take plasma-keyboard or maliit-keyboard not both.--On Thu, Sep 4, 2025 at 12:05 AM Eddy02 Edpil via kde <kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:Plasma-keyboard is now optional for plasma but I believe there is still a hard dependency in the build that prevents uninstalling maliit-keyboard , especially since it creates lots of crashs in journalctl.
ex: kwin_wayland[9554]: Input Method crashed "maliit-keyboard" QList() 6 QProcess::CrashExit.
