Bug ID: 390640
Summary: Remote control keyboard in android app hard to open
Product: kdeconnect
Version: unspecified
Platform: Android
OS: Android 7.x
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: android-application
Assignee: albertv...@gmail.com
Reporter: jonathan.do...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
KDE Connect v1.7.1, installed from play store
On the remote control screen (to pass input from phone to remote PC), there
used to be an icon on the top bar to open the keyboard. Now the keyboard is
hidden in the dot menu. I think the button should be restored.
A compounding problem is that the keyboard is hidden whenever the screen is
turned off. This might be something peculiar to my phone (Samsung Galaxy S8):
in all apps, the keyboard is hidden when the screen turns off, and when the
screen turns back on, it takes about 0.5 seconds for the input field to be
re-focused and the keyboard reopened. But in KDE Connect, the keyboard does not
reopen when the screen turns on (probably it doesn't have a normal input
field).
I like to use the keyboard in short bursts to control (non-mpris) multimedia
playback on the remote PC. So when I go to use it, I have to 1) turn on screen,
2) tap dot menu, 3) tap show keyboard. Ideally they keyboard should stay up,
removing steps 2+3. But it would be good just to remove step 2.
