Draft: Make "Virtual keyboard" buttons on lock and login screens show the VK
requested to merge ngraham/plasma-workspace:make-sddm-and-lockscreen-virtual-keyboard-button-always-show-the-virtual-keyboard into master
Right now these buttons do not always show the virtual keyboard. They will do it when pressed with a touchscreen tap, but when clicked with a pointing device they will do nothing at all, which is not a great UX.
This commit fixes that by using KWin's InputMethod::forceActivate() function, which shows the virtual keyboard even if the last input event wasn't a touch event.
This commit requires kwin!3895 to work.
BUG: 467209 FIXED-IN: 6.0

Draft because it doesn't work and I don't understand why. with kwin!3895 applied, calling Keyboards.KWinVirtualKeyboard.forceActivate() from QML works as expected in !2780, but it doesn't work here. @apol any chance you can help me figure this out?
