Maliit is an input method framework for computers with particular focus on implementing virtual keyboards. Designed mostly for touchscreen devices, Maliit allows the inputting of text without the presence of a physical keyboard. More advanced features such as word correction and prediction are also available.
Originating as part of MeeGo, [7] Maliit is free software licensed under LGPL. Maliit ships as a standard component of LG webOS, [8] Plasma Mobile, [9] SailfishOS, [10] LuneOS, [11] [12] and Ubuntu Touch. [13]
Maliit was originally developed as part of MeeGo by Nokia who eventually shipped it as part of MeeGo Handset “Day 1” software platform. [2]
In the early 2010s, Maliit was deployed as a standard component of Nokia N9, [10] KDE Plasma Active, [14] OLPC devices, [10] and Ubuntu Touch phones. [10] [15] [16]
After the MeeGo project ended, Maliit was transferred into an independent project by free software consulting firm Openismus. [17] The first formally independent release was 0.80.0 on June 20, 2011. [18]
Maliit 0.99, released on March 27, 2013, switched from Qt 4 to Qt 5. [10]
In May 2016, a KDE developer announced that instead of Maliit, QtVirtualKeyboard had been integrated into KDE Plasma 5.7. [19] [20] In September 2020, Maliit was made the default keyboard in Plasma Mobile. [21] [9]
On April 2, 2021 Maliit 2.0 has been released. [22]
Among Maliit's features are a plugin-based architecture, word correction and prediction, multitouch, and context sensitive layouts. [23]
When running on Linux kernel, handling of the input hardware relies on evdev. Maliit supports X11 as well as Wayland. [10]
Thanks to a new virtual keyboard based on Maliit—the input method used on devices such as Nokia's N9 smartphone—Plasma Active Three makes text input easier.
