Description

Currently, there is no documented way to have an on-screen keyboard launch with lightdm-mini-greeter. Having an easy way to do this would make this greeter ideal for touch-enabled devices.

Something like how lightdm-gtk-greeter lets you add the following: keyboard=onboard

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the configuration parsing in lightdm gtk greeter for keyboard=onboard, then implement similar functionality in lightdm mini greeter by adding a configuration option to launch an on screen keyboard command.
