Is this possible, or is there another way to do it?

You can set the default input method on a per-browser basis within the "Preferences" tab of the settings screen. Once selected, that will be the default within the browser from that point forward.

I can't seem to get the guac menu to show when connecting to a desktop through an ipad.

Unfortunately, this is because iOS uses the swipe-from-the-left gesture to navigate backward in the browser history, and this gesture takes priority over JavaScript handling of the same. For Guacamole to see the gesture and open the menu, you would need to:

* Open the connection in a new tab, such that there _is_ no history.
* Bookmark the application to the device's home screen. Doing this grants the application greater control of what keyboard events can be captured, what gestures can be overridden, etc. I believe this would allow Guacamole to take full control of the relevant swipe gesture.
