Best Answer
The solution is to restart the computer.
Afterward, Maliit Keyboard will come up after pressing the "Input method" entry in the system tray.
However, maliit has a bug that after editing text, if one closes the on-screen-keyboard, it will not come up anymore.
The workaround is to create a .desktop file which will execute
pkill maliit-keyboard && maliit-keyboard
. Pin this desktop file to the panel so that you can tap it before you need to open up the on-screen keyboard.Afterward, clicking on the Input Method button will once again bring up the on screen keyboard.
