click the remote input.
DESCRIPTION
When using KDE Connect's Remote input feature to type text from my Android
phone on my Debian KDE Plasma PC, the capitalization of the text is changed
according to the Caps Lock state of the PC.
This issue does not occur when using KDE Connect's clipboard forwarding ("Send
clipboard"). It occurs specifically when entering/pasting text through the
Remote input feature.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Pair an Android phone with a Debian KDE Plasma PC using KDE Connect.
2. Open KDE Connect on the Android phone.
3. Open the connected Debian PC.
4. Select "Remote input".
5. On the PC, make sure Caps Lock is OFF.
6. On the Android device, use the Remote input feature and enter/paste text
containing both uppercase and lowercase characters, for example:
HelloWorldABC123
7. Observe the text entered on the PC.
8. Repeat the test with Caps Lock ON on the PC.
OBSERVED RESULT
The capitalization of the text entered through Remote input changes according
to the Caps Lock state of the PC.
With Caps Lock OFF:
HelloWorldABC123 becomes:
helloworldabc123
With Caps Lock ON:
HelloWorldABC123 becomes:
HELLOWORLDABC123
The original capitalization of the text is therefore not preserved.
This behavior occurs specifically when using KDE Connect's Remote input
feature.
EXPECTED RESULT
Text entered or pasted through KDE Connect's Remote input should preserve its
original capitalization, regardless of the Caps Lock state of the PC.
For example:
HelloWorldABC123
should remain:
HelloWorldABC123
with both Caps Lock ON and OFF.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.6
Qt Version: 6.8.2
KDE Connect Version: 25.04.2
Android Version: 1.35.13
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The issue is specific to KDE Connect's Remote input feature.
KDE Connect clipboard forwarding itself does not cause this problem. When using
the normal clipboard synchronization/forwarding functionality, the
capitalization is preserved.
The issue is particularly noticeable when entering URLs, commands, filenames,
API keys, or other case-sensitive text through Remote input.
I have attached a screenshot showing the Remote input option in the KDE Connect
Android application.
