I use the remote control feature (not the trackpad part, but the virtual keyboard) extensively when controlling mpv from the couch. Particularly in conjunction with Hacker's Keyboard for special keys like Alt+F4.
- szemet 8y agoI did not hear about KDE connect (maybe because I do not use KDE), but had the exactly same need (control mpv from my couch). I have found this: https://github.com/ndunks/xdotoolweb https://github.com/ndunks/xdotoolweb - I only have one use case so I only run it - using a simple shell script wrapper - together with mpv. It working fine for me, and it does not need a client on the mobile (except a browser), also it is not connected to the KDE ecosystem - if anyone else needs some lightweight solution for the same problem...
