Wheneber I tried to install the MatchBox-Keyboard, it appears extremely small and not full, letters only, doesnt stay top most, and doesnt print out the text. I tried with onboard, still same cant print out the text.

Unfortunately I've found on screen keyboards, touch screen support and screenshots are the 3 main things that are lacking in raspberry pi os desktop

This is because of the change from the graphical engine from X.11 to Wayland. So include wayland when searching.

at this point even with mouse clicked on one of the keys, it doesnt respond

Tried with onboard, extremely slow and this pops up
