Make Anbox show the virtual keyboard when needed

It would be nice to make the OSK integrated with Anbox so that text input is functional on phones.

Some information dump

The directory handling input in Anbox source: /anbox/platform/sdl/

on the SDL side, you can ask to show the osk as such: ShowScreenKeyboard(SDL_GetVideoDevice(), sdl_window). Anbox uses sdl windows with a wrapper. You can get a SDL_Window* from a anbox::sdl::Window w using SDL_GetWindowFromID(w->window_id).

Anbox has been dropped from Alpine completely, so I'm closing this.
