How to disable the on-screen keyboard when I use the touch screen?
I am using Fedora on a computer with touch screen. When was using Fedora 26 or older, the on-screen keyboard always pops up when I am using the touch screen (like when I selected gedit window, the on-screen keyboard shows, and I have to close it manually). I found that caribou is the keyboard which annoys me, and this answer helped me (by disabling caribou).
However, after upgrading to Fedora 27 (actually I installed it from scratch), disabling caribou no longer works, and the keyboard pops up whenever I am using touch screen on gedit (and other applications). What should I do to disable it?

You may use a GNOME shell extension called "Block Caribou".
It claims to block caribou (the on screen keyboard) from popping up when you use a touchscreen in GNOME shell v3.26.

"Block Caribou" works well. Hope that it will continue supporting when gnome-shell updates (my gnome-shell version is 3.26.2-1.fc27)
