An option to display an applicaton (virtual keyboard) on the lock screen

[junaruga]

I want to use the virtual keyboard wvkbd GitHub on the lock screen with swaylock.

For example, I show a case of using the binary file wvkbd-mobintl, which can be compiled from the source like this.

$ make
=> wvkbd-mobintl is created.

Then, when running the following bash script, I want to show the virtual keyboard on the lock screen. Is it possible? If not, I would like to request this feature as a swaylock command-line option. What do you think?

$ cat lock.sh
#!/bin/bash

swaylock &
wvkbd-mobintl &
wait

As a reference, the following project may be useful to got an idea how to implement this feature. Note that I haven't tried the gtklock-virtkb-module and swaylock-mobile. But I assume both my work on displaying the virtual keyboard wvkbd on the lock screen.
