BUG: The soft keyboard runs off the screen when selecting MDI

That is a known bug, it has been there from the beginning.

Is there a way to reset the feed override and rapid override to default values with a single click? I find it hard to reset the feed override to 100%

I have spent very little time on touchscreen stuff, just some basics. I don't have a touchscreen so it is low in my priority list, I am more inclined to get the functionality working before I do some touchscreen work. I will look into these down the track.

softkey is actually in entry_widget.py function update_panel_position()

Did you miss that I said function : update_panel_position() or was that a question about the function?

screen_height = QtWidgets.qApp.desktop().availableGeometry().height()
figures out the available height - I don't see one for width.

It might be relying on the window manager to make sure the window is visible.

self.move(QDesktopWidget().availableGeometry().center().x() - self.frameGeometry().center().x() * 0.5, QDesktopWidget().availableGeometry().center().y() - self.frameGeometry().center().y() * 0.5)

I followed the code using github search but I'm not sure where I ended up!
I would be very happy not dig into code as Python is not my strong point. But unfortunately to make QTPlasmac great we have to!

This thread does look interesting: stackoverflow.com/questions/20243637/pyq...dow-on-active-screen
IT shows how to centre a window on the screen by referring to frameGeometry
Centring the keyboard would be OK

self.move(QDesktopWidget().availableGeometry().center().x() - self.frameGeometry().center().x() * 0.5, QDesktopWidget().availableGeometry().center().y() - self.frameGeometry().center().y() * 0.5)

From what I can understand, the cursor position is the mouse position (which I assume would be in the MDI text field).
So what you'd need to do is check that position and see if there is enough room to the right to display the keyboard frame and if not, move the frame to the left so it did fit. I guess the same might need to be done on the left edge too.

This does not look like its a qtplasmac thing, so it would be great if you could devise a solution Chris!

    def update_panel_position(self):
        widget = self.INPUT_WIDGET
        if not widget: return

        geom = widget.frameGeometry()
        geom.moveCenter(QtWidgets.qApp.desktop().availableGeometry().center())
