Remove virtual keyboard

General Help
1

Hi,

On 16.2 Core and I want to remove the virtual keyboard via the command line.

Spent stupid amounts of time on google but nothing works.

Looked at https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1326/block-caribou/ but have no clue how to run this.

Tried gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.a11y.applications screen-keyboard-enabled false but no joy

So just wanting a simple command line command to remove it (i.e. apt remove xxx)

Thanks

Bluck

I do not use Gnome, so I am not up to date as to whether this will work:

sudo apt remove caribou

If was enabled by mistake you should disable it on Settings > Accessibility > disable On-screen Keyboard. This is about the system default virtual keyboard option, I don't know if you installed a virtual keyboard yourself.

Looking this up, it appears a common problem on Gnome that for Touchscreens, it automatically enables Caribou- but does not respect settings to disable it.
