I recently switched to hyprland and noticed kde connect wasnt typing what i type from my tablet. Its really hard to type on a physical keyboard due to my disablity. Any suggestions?

Kde connect is pretty good for this, but im upset with how difficult it is to disable on both android + linux.

There's an open issue here from Mar 13, 2023 : https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/issues/1775 One commenter writes that it works on Sway but not hyprland.

Yes. I saw that

Lately I switch between connect, unified remote, and steam link for the same reason. I also have a backup mini wireless keyboard for when none of them want to work right.

I can type using sunshine!

Does that only work on NVIDIA?

Not for a while now, I continued to use it after switching to AMD. It's regularly being updated, give it a try.

How do you install it, on what platform etc? Is this completely wayland ready? That would be slick

[-] mariah@feddit.rocks 2 points 6 months ago

Install at https://github.com/LizardByte/sunshine. Ive been only using using for typing and mouse but it seems fine

Would VNC solve your issue? I use https://github.com/any1/wayvnc with Hyprland occasionally.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
