Is it possible to turn off auto repositioning of onboard keyboard?
Hi!
I am building a kiosk application with fullscreen firefox, and I don't want the onboard keyboard to move if the text field happens to be "under the keyboard". I prioritize to have the keyboard in a fixed place (maybe together with some opaque feature).
I can't use the "docking -> dock to screen edge" because then the fullscreen firefox hides the keyboard. So I use "Floating windows option -> show windows on top".
I solved it with one line patching of get_repositione
Thanks!

Right, there's no nice way to disable auto-positioning. You could tell the keyboard to stay impossible large distances away from widgets and have it give up moving that way.
gsettings set org.onboard.
That would work, but I agree, some kind of toggle would be better. Let me add something.

OK, I've added a new gsettings key. You can turn off repositioning with gconf-editor or from command line:
gsettings set org.onboard.
Enable repositioning again with
gsettings reset org.onboard.
I haven't added the setting to preferences yet, but might at a later point if there is more interest. You've been the first one to ask.

That would be dconf-editor, not gconf-editor.
Can you help with this problem?
