Android <--> KDE = KDE Connect
Something I discovered recently... KDE Connect. - install "KDE Connect" app on Android phone. - modern KDE desktop should come with "KDE Connect" (System Settings | Hardware). It "pairs" Android phone and KDE desktop together, so that you can - remote control mouse/keyboard from phone. When you type on the phone or touch the screen, it shows up as keystrokes or mouse movement on desktop, respectively. - transfer files from phone to desktop. - transfer files from desktop to phone. Unfortunately, it doesn't work on Slackware, but works on Kubuntu and KaOS. -- William

Yeah, it's really handy, and the file transfers are way more convenient and reliable (network over sshFS) then USB or bluetooth. I started a thread on it last December, you can seem my notes on setting up on Fedora (needed a firewall tweak then, but was straight forward). https://gtalug.org/pipermail/talk/2015-December/002324.html May favorite feature was when it would pause/unpause my music when I start and end a phone call. -- Scott Sullivan
Don't forget manjaro kde! Randy Is time a function of space? Or space of time? Or are they identical? Echo answers. --Der Zauberberg Thomas Mann Cogito ergo sum On 3 Aug 2016, 3:08 a.m., at 3:08 a.m., William Park via talk <talk@gtalug.org> wrote:
