I want it to work with libp2p. Imagine controlling your machine from anywhere securely.

Yep:

@tertle950 @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social you can. I found it a bit unreliable sometimes because iOS does iOS stuff behind the scenes. The Android client is solid on my devices.

I swap between #localsend and #kdeconnect . Most of the time I don't need all the extras bundled with KDE Connect.

You can drag & drop files on the popup from the KDE Connect tray icon to send to the phone.

The popup opens either when clicking on the tray icon or when hovering over it while dragging a file.

Keyboard to phone needs to be setup on the phone.
When you open the app at the bottom it lists plugins that need permission to work.
Follow the setup for "Receive remote keypresses" to add KDE Connect as an input method.

Whenever KDE Connect is active as a keyboard, an input box appears in the KDE Connect popup on the desktop for you to type in.

I'm pretty sure it's not wayland only. I can't see why it would be.

Long press the spacebar on the keyboard on your phone and chose the KDE Connect keyboard (see first picture).

Then click on the KDE Connect plasmoid on your desktop, click in the text box (see second picture) and start typing.

You can also use your phone and KDE Connect as a mouse and keyboard for your desktop.

By any chance the problem is in windows 11? Cuz I have KDE connect in my PC with windows 10 and it works like a charm... Most of the time.

I don't know the answer, but I've used Flying Carpet in the past, and it worked well enough going Windows to Linux.

A little clunky, but it gets the job done.

Use KDE Connect:

On your phone, go into wher you keep your files (say, your photo gallery). Select the ones you want to transfer (1). Tap the share button (2), and the devices paired with your phone will show up (3). Tap the computer you want to send your files to and they will show up in the "Downloads" directory of that machine a few seconds later (depending on their size, of course).

It works both ways, also from laptop to phone, and even between phones and computers.
