Summary:
Currently code base of kwin can be viewed as two pieces. One is very
ancient, and the other one is more modern, which uses new C++ features.
The main problem with the ancient code is that it was written before
C++11 era. So, no override or final keywords, lambdas, etc.
Quite recently, KDE compiler settings were changed to show a warning if
a virtual method has missing override keyword. As you might have already
guessed, this fired back at us because of that ancient code. We had
about 500 new compiler warnings.
A "solution" was proposed to that problem - disable -Wno-suggest-override
and the other similar warning for clang. It's hard to call a solution
because those warnings are disabled not only for the old code, but also
for new. This is not what we want!
The main argument for not actually fixing the problem was that git
history will be screwed as well because of human factor. While good git
history is a very important thing, we should not go crazy about it and
block every change that somehow alters git history. git blame allows to
specify starting revision for a reason.
The other argument (human factor) can be easily solved by using tools
such as clang-tidy. clang-tidy is a clang-based linter for C++. It can
be used for various things, e.g. fixing coding style(e.g. add missing
braces to if statements, readability-braces-around-statements check),
or in our case add missing override keywords.
Test Plan: Compiles.

Summary:
alternative approach: try to resize the winidow to make room for the keyboard.
the new input wayland protocol doesn't have anymore the overlap rectangle (and it would not be going to work with qwidget apps anyways)
in the future will probably be needed anextension to the input protocol v3 which partially gets back this, tough window resizing is needed regardless
what's missing: the resize should be "temporary" and the window should be restored to its previous geometry when the keyboard closes
Test Plan: tested with test QML code

Summary:
This change adds a DBus API to query whether the virtual keyboard is
currently enabled and provides DBus methods to request that the virtual
keyboard gets enabled/disabled. This is useful for e.g. providing a
Plasmoid or for convertables where the tablet mode needs to be enabled.

Summary:
The idea is to have KWin provide a virtual keyboard. To support this
KWin uses the QT_IM_MODULE qtvirtualkeyboard and makes sure that the
QPA plugin loads it.
KWin has a new class VirtualKeyboard which acts as the focus object and
the "proxy" for input methods. The QPA plugin ensures that this is the
focusObject, so that all input method related events are sent to this
class. From there it will be possible to delegate to other applications
through the Wayland interfaces.
