Alternative Android keyboard compatible with KDE remote?
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

I use fossify, im going to test this on my device later after work and see if i can reproduce any issues you are experiencing. Any specifics would help. (just want to see if the problem is limited to you)
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
I think you have to swipe the shift key towards the corner where the caps lock key is.
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.
I use FlorisBoard, and I don't remember having any issues. I've only used KDE remote a couple times though, so ymmv.
I just tested and it doesn't pass caps sadly.
