My keyboard is broken. Some keys are not working. Is there any way I can enable virtual keyboard on my laptop? It doesn’t have touchscreen.
I have enabled mallit from virtual keyboard setting page. But no virtual keyboard is popping up.
I think Windows 10 and Ubuntu has this feature. But I am unable to open virtual keyboard.

Yes it shows reliably in touch mode, but never (and there is no setting) in non-touch mode
Add this Kwin environment variable to your global environment variables file, then reboot (or restart kwin, no idea how to do that)
run0 cat >> /etc/environment <<EOF
KWIN_IM_SHOW_ALWAYS=1
EOF
Source:
You can disable the keyboard with the system tray icon, but there seems to be no on-toggle, which is kinda bad. An extension could likely fix this.
Sidenote:
Maliit is basically unmaintained, and there already is a COPR repo for the new “plasma-keyboard”. It is in early stages so be aware.
