Bug ID: 524905
Summary: Auto-focus text field and show keyboard when opening
"Compose message"/remote input dialog
Classification: Applications
Product: kdeconnect
Version First unspecified
Reported In:
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: android-application

Target Milestone: ---
The remote-input mode (touchpad/keyboard) has a "Compose message" menu
(top-right menu button) that lets you type text in a field before
sending it to the paired device. In practice, this dialog seems mainly
useful as a workaround to use the phone's voice-to-text/dictation
feature, since voice dictation does not work directly in the
remote-input mode itself.
However, reaching this workaround currently takes extra steps:
1. Open the menu (top-right button)
2. Tap the text field at the bottom to give it focus
3. Only then does the keyboard appear and voice dictation become usable
Suggestion: when this dialog opens, automatically request focus on the
text field and show the soft keyboard immediately, instead of requiring
an extra tap. This would make the voice-dictation workaround one step
shorter and much smoother to use.
