I recently got a Lenovo Yoga 2 13 inch. It came with windows 8.1 which works great. I decided to install Linux(Fedora 25) and so far(with the exception of wi-fi) works great. However, when trying to use the tablet mode, which disables the keyboard, I can't get the onscreen keyboard to show up in Chrome(running newest chrome 55). Does anyone know any way to "force" the keyboard to show in chrome?

The problem happens in both Wayland and Xorg sessions.

After a bit of experimenting I found out that there is already a gesture in GNOME(or maybe in a more recent version) that lets me start the onscreen keyboard. I simply had to swipe with one finger bottom-up from the bottom edge of the screen. This works for all apps, not just chrome.
