Can I ctrl-paste the contents of my phone's clipboard onto my Linux computer? How many hours would that take to set up? Because that works out of the box with Macs and iPhones. Pretty useful daily.
- lionkor 2y agoKde connect works fine most of the time to share clipboard, send files, etc
- slicedbrandy 2y agoI had a look into KDE connect out of interest, but found it to be quite lacking in functionality for iOS. The limitations likely stem from Apple's locked down approach to their OS and security, but the limitations remain. https://userbase.kde.org/KDEConnect#Missing_or_limited_features_on_some_platforms https://userbase.kde.org/KDEConnect#Missing_or_limited_featu...
- rand0mx1 2y agoIt's quite easy with kdeconnect.
- gear54rus 2y agoExcept it requires VPN when not on the same LAN for some reason...
- BenjiWiebe 2y agoHow should it work? Send everything through a central server? Try to hole-punch through NAT? Ubiquitous IPv6 might help, but we're not there yet.
- gear54rus 2y agoA self-hostend STUN/TURN server maybe? I don't know but I'm def not installing a VPN for this. Considering I might have another one already running. The issues that would arise from this are numerous.
- gtvwill 2y agoYeah that's been easy for a few years now. Kdeconnect works great/it's been available on Linux since well before windows got it.
- sureIy 2y agoI don't trust the definition of "easy" from a Linux man. For me easy means logging into my iCloud account and having it work by default.
- aniviacat 2y agoIt's even easier than that; you don't even have to setup an account. When your devices are on the same network, you can just request pairing on one device and accept pairing on the other. Done.
