It would be very helpful to have a switch to enable or disable the onscreen keyboard as a default state after boot.

In slick-greeter this would be the setting "onscreen-keyboard" true or false. Currently this doesn't seem to work, at least not on my setup (issue linuxmint/slick-greeter#219). In case this issue can be solved, the setting could be implemented in lightdm-settings.

Add a switch to enable onscreen keyboard.

Move this new switch and the already existing layout selection list out
of section "Panel indicators" into a new section "On-screen keyboard".

Currently, once I enable it in the greeter itself, it remains enabled. Is this different for you? What version of slick-greeter (and/or Mint) are you running?

I can enable/disable the onscreen keyboard in the accessibility menu in the top bar. If enable it that way, log in, log out, the keyboard is enabled. However, when rebooting it's not enabled anymore.

Accordingly I cannot set the default state of the onscreen keyboard.

My slick-greeter version is 2.0.3, lightdm version is 1.32.0. I'm on distribution postmarketOS (branch "edge"), which is based on Alpine Linux (branch "edge").

I suggest the PR's linuxmint/slick-greeter#229 and #62. This offers a clear setting by config file or GUI settings window. The checkbox "onscreen keyboard" in the accessibility menu in the top bar then applies only for the current slick-greeter screen.
