I'm currently using gnome and I'd like to switch to plasma, but I can't seem to find a decent wayland-compatible virtual keyboard. What would you guys recommend?

Proper packaged Plasma Wayland should automatically recommend installing Maliit as well.

Maliit is the official kde virtual keyboard

I can't make it work on my non touch screen display.

Is Maliit only for touch screens?

Might be a dumb question, but what's the use case for a virtual keyboard on a non-touch screen?

@fallingcats
tv is one that springs to mind.
Generally one where you have a pointer input, but no keyboard, game consoles like applications might also be an answer?

Steamdeck uses a virtual keyboard driven by its two touchpads. It's Steam's own (janky, web-technology) implementation but handhelds are a very new case for better virtual keyboards that dont necessarily rely on touchscreens.
