DESCRIPTION
When using Plasma Keyboard, the Space Cadet Pinball app (
https://flathub.org/en/apps/com.github.k4zmu2a.spacecadetpinball ) no longer
accepts flipper inputs (z and slash). The flipper sounds play, but they don't
move. Disabling Plasma Keyboard fixes it.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install and open Space Cadet Pinball:
https://flathub.org/en/apps/com.github.k4zmu2a.spacecadetpinball
2. Observe that left-click and right-click move the flippers.
3. Observe that "z" and "/" on the keyboard play the sound effect, but do not
move the flippers.
4. From System Settings, set Virtual Keyboard to None.
5. Z and slash now work as expected.

OBSERVED RESULT
The z and slash keys do not move the flippers in the game. If you hold the key,
the alternative characters popup appears (e.g. holding Slash lets me select a ÷
symbol); which I have not noticed in other games. The game still detects the
input, as it plays the sound effect, but it does not work.

EXPECTED RESULT
The flippers should move.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System (available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a
terminal window): Fedora Linux 44
KDE Plasma Version: 6.7.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.28.0
Qt Version: 6.11.1

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I really like the alternative characters feature, I had previously learnt
EurKEY to get some access but now I get even more characters :)
