TV remote screen on KDE Connect without Home button
DESCRIPTION
While using Plasma Bigscreen with KDE Connect works, it's unable to open Home
menu to navigate between apps, since Meta key cannot be entered with KDE
Connect remote input module either.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Connect device with Plasma Bigscreen to Android device with KDE Connect with
remote input plugin.
2. Open TV remote screen on Android device where Home button is missing, or
open remote input screen on Android device where Meta key input is not
available.
OBSERVED RESULT
There is no Home button on TV remote screen.
EXPECTED RESULT
There should be a Home button on TV remote screen.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: Arch Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 6.7.1
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.27.0
Qt Version: 6.11.1
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Note that even if Meta key is available from remote input, this issue wouldn't
be resolved, since it would be way inconvenient for the user to use Home
button on TV remote.
There is a workaround to open main menu by invoking a shortcut through qdbus
using following custom command added in KDE Connect (this is still quite
inconvenient for the user, though):
qdbus6 org.kde.kglobalaccel /component/plasmashell invokeShortcut "activate
application launcher"
