Disabling the Caribou onscreen keyboard
When using a touchscreen, GNOME 3 automatically enables the onscreen keyboard everytime it detects the cursor to be in a text-input field, e.g. the GNOME-Terminal.
I didn't find a sane way to disable this behavior, but rather a hackish workaround.
First, create the the respective parent directory and the following file. This is acts as a dummy-layout for the caribou onscreen keyboard.
/usr/share/caribou/layouts/off/us.xml<?xml version="1.0"?> <layout xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"> </layout>
Next, select the off keyboard layout.
user $gsettings set org.gnome.shell.keyboard keyboard-type off
