How to install fbkeyboard on PostmarketOS?
#2
The best answer was I needed to update to the latest pmOS which has TTYEscape which allows you to switch to TTY2 and launches the keyboard `buffyboard`, then kills it if you use the same combo to switch back. See: https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/TTYescape

If you're not using TTYEscape a keyboard like `fbkeyboard` or `buffyboard` needs to be running as a service but that service needs to be stopped before switching to a TTY running a compositor or it'll continue to pick up finger presses in the background and type text.

To install fbkeyboard and it's service:
sudo apk add postmarketos-ui-fbkeyboard
sudo rc-service fbkeyboard start
