Hi,
I just installed a ton of packages to this system and all of a sudden I have this virtual keyboard. Yes, you guessed it, I don't know which package brought me this head ache.
This system is a Fedora 27 x86_64 (rawhide). I'm using KDE. The monitor is a Samsung 27" TV and has NO touch screen capability that I'm aware of. I am using ONLY the TV as a monitor... the one on the laptop is disabled as far as KDE is concerned.
Any/all help hints/tips would be GREATLY appreciated.
My UNENDING Thanks,
George...

You mean you installed a bunch of packages without knowing what they were or how they may affect your system? And, your running rawhide which is for testing and whose questions should really go to the "test" list?
Well, anyway, sounds like you could have installed qt5-qtvirtualkeyboard.

Installation history, dnf logs... Apropos keyboard Apropos virtual rpm -qa|sort|less (then scroll through and look; human search)
Look through your preferences for accessibility options, and turn it off. I think an on-screen keyboard is installed with basic systems, by default, it's just not enabled until you ask for it (which can be done with hotkey sequences - like rapidly tapping shift keys, or holding a shift key down - the particular sequence depends on your desktop).

On-screen keyboards (another term for you to look for), don't have to be used with touchscreens, they can also be used with a mouse, or other pointing devices. Sometimes they're used for people without a keyboard, sometimes they're for people who can't use a keyboard.
