OnScreen python keyboard on Linux

Hey there! I'm completely new to Linux, but I ended up using it because Windows was giving me constant headaches with kiosk mode configuration.

I'm setting up a terminal that only opens Chromium on fullScreen, and I created a custom keyboard in Python. The problem is that I can't find a way to automatically show the keyboard when an input/text field is selected inside Chromium.

I know Linux has native on-screen keyboards, but I was asked to only display certain keys (letters, numbers, and a few symbols), and Onboard doesn't seem to work. (some /bin error)

Inside the browser, I have a website I made, but the payment flow opens another tab that goes to a third-party website I don't own, so I can't modify the inputs there to somehow trigger the keyboard.

Does anyone know of a solution for this?
