Congrats ! this is a great idea !

I tested it on my FP5 (24.04-1.1 stable) and it installed and restored the system keyboard. Needed to restart the phone but that's not important. Tested it with the terminal and a few browsers.

Good points:

I find it more pleasing to the eye that the system one.
It worked as well with alternate browsers (uWolf, Min) who have special methods to handle the keyboard.
with the terminal it does not interfer with the special input methods (double clic on the screen, special area

Minor points:

opening Min (an alternate browser) and Morph both with a blank initial screen, entering 'https:' and clicking on the blank screen generated a mad flickering of the keyboard and a Js error in the browser code (I took a screenshot but for some reason it's unreadable).
when setting / unsetting it as system keyboard there is some delay after clicking the button with no apparent feedback.
I (and I think most people) expected it to respect the system preferences for the language, nope, it's necessary to setup the keyboard in its own config screen. Yes, it's actually a high expection This config screen is not totally obvious by the way. I managed after a few mistakes to select the French Azerty as the default and it displayed finally - in Qwerty . I clicked on the 'AZ' key and it was Azerty finally.
after restoring the system OSK I set it again as the default, and I got back the qwerty with the french Azerty left selected, and this time clicking on AZ did not change the disposition, it stayed Qwerty.
still with the French Azerty, the text 'Keyboard - French - French (AZER) spills over the key ',' at the left (see screenshot)
