[Desktop][Search] On-screen keyboard support for Linux client

[wwill]

Spotify client for Linux does not support screen keyboard in Ubuntu acessibility settings. When a text field is clicked, the on-screen keyboard should pop up for text input. This works in most apps, and eliminates the need for a physical keyboard on i.e. media center PC's.

Hello @wwill 

Thanks for submitting your idea to the Idea Exchange!

We've gone ahead and marked this as a new suggestion. Spotify Staff will look into this idea once it reaches the necessary amount of votes.

Note that Linux/ Unix based operating systems are currently not supported officially, so an implementation like this might not be developed or might take longer to do so.

More info on how your feedback reaches Spotify via the Idea Exchange can be found here.

Cheers!
