Bug Description
Hi! I was testing the keyboard and it is good. I am searching one keyboard to touch screens or All in one PCs for use it with linux distributions without physical keyboard.
The idea is show it when the user is focused on any text input at least on Google Chrome. Else the keyboard should be hidden.
But the problem is it doesn't work with some apps / browsers (tested with Linux Mint 18.1 KDE Edition) like Google Chrome, Opera, and notepad cloned of Windows opened with Wine. It works with Mozilla Firefox.
The goal is can use this keyboard like on the mobiles / tablets. Thanks in advance.

Onboard uses the system's at-spi2 framework to get information about newly focused text inputs. However, this requires the applications to also make use of the at-spi2 framework so that Onboard gets informed about their events, like the focussing of a new text input.
Onboard cannot do much about it, if applications don't use the at-spi2 framework. You should rather file bugs against the applications not supporting the at-spi2 framework.
In GTK3 applications, at-spi2 support is included by default, if I remember correctly. And here are the libraries we know of for other applications:
libgail-common
libatk-adaptor # for mozilla applications (XUL based) and ?gtk?
qt-at-spi
libreoffice-gtk
libreoffice-gtk3
libatk-wrapper-java
