Package: Gnome-Shell

I want to email a correction to the on screen keyboard issue we have been
having. We are able to deactivate and turn off the gnome onscreen keyboard
on NON touchscreen devices and it works fine. We do it with this command

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.a11y.applications screen-keyboard-enabled false


This command does deactivate and turn the Gnome onscreen keyboard off on
NON touch screen devices, but it does not turn off the Gnome Onscreen
Keyboard on touchscreen devices. I think it is possible that it is
hardcoded for the Gnome Onscreen Keyboard to start showing up automatically
on touchscreen devices when the user clicks on text fields and such. Here
are the lines of code I possibly see that in:

I just wanted to email this correction. Thank you for your time
