I’ve tried Helliboard and Fossify keyboard, and both have issues through KDE remote. Would anyone have a recommendation for a more privacy focused keyboard that works with KDE remote?

Edit: to explain

Helliboard doesn’t pass caps.

Fossify keyboard doesn’t backspace

    After some tests with many different keyboards from f-droid, not a single one of the roughly 12 I tested were able to send capital letters. My workaround would be use a keyboard that allows for custom keys and add shift or a capslock input to the keyboard.

    I tried “unexpected keyboard” which had the option to do this but i cannot for the life of me figgure out how to actually press capslock when its added to the keyboard its set to the letter A but its not useable through normal means i must have to hold it or something and i cannot figgure it out.

    My other solution is to buy one of these

    Its a dinky wireless keyboard with a left click on the top left making it holdable like a game controller and all mouse inputs are useable with only thumbs. Its great for using a keyboard from a bed or couch.

    Best of luck

      Ayyeee thanks for the test and detailed notes. I use both the logi keyboard and a Rii4, both awesome keyboards.

      If i understand what you’re saying, maybe i can give the phone an input to bind if attach a bt keyboard?

      I’ll report back if i have a breakthrough.
