[webkit-qt] QtWebkit & Virtual Keyboard

[Ivan De Marino]

Input methods in Qt are defined by-platform, and that should not change if
you are in a QWebView.
If you want to modify what do you get in terms of Keyboards, Combo-box and
so forth, you might want to take a look to the actual source code of
QtWebKit and see where you can "plug yourself" in. It's not going to be an
easy task, I think.

It might be that you are raising an interesting point: allowing developers
to implement/extend the input methods for QWebKit, so that personalized
Input Methods can be easily added. that's an interesting idea.

Good luck.
