@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social This blog post is about iPhone support but Microsoft has had this in Windows for a couple years now, especially in cooperation with Samsung. The Apple/Samsung #Sidecar feature in which you can use your computer keyboard to write on your phone or to drag & drop files is still not present in #KDEConnect (there is a input module in the plasmoid setting but I have never seen a button to actually use this; is this Wayland-only?).

Long press the spacebar on the keyboard on your phone and chose the KDE Connect keyboard (see first picture).

Then click on the KDE Connect plasmoid on your desktop, click in the text box (see second picture) and start typing.

You can also use your phone and KDE Connect as a mouse and keyboard for your desktop.

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Oh cool, this actually works! There should be a tutorial in the app + plasmoid for this, it’s not trivial.
