--- Comment #8 from oldgranola <[email protected]> ---
I strongly felt the need for more remote control of web browser functions:
back, forward, escape, toggle full screen (F11) on the remobe input mouse
screen on android. This seems to have been dropped/not supported so I
experimented myself, a proof of concept/feasibility and installed it on my Moto
G andoid phone. I have also put this on a motorola edge phone now, both updated
android. It works very nicely controlling two Linux Mint machines LM 21.3 and
LM22.3. I have used it heavily for Brave Browser, Firefox, Kodi in particular
for media streaming like youtube, movies etc. I realize this is just MY
environments and may not reflect functionality on other users devices. So far I
have not experienced any crashes or loss of other KDE connect functions such as
file sharing. 

Without going into detail, the files edited are:
activity_mousepad.xml: the existing mouse_buttons bar is wrapped in a vertical
container, with the new Esc/F11 row added on top
MousePadPlugin.kt: sendBrowserBack, sendBrowserForward, sendEscape,
sendFullscreen
MousePadActivity.kt: click listeners for the new buttons
strings.xml: accessibility labels
The PC/laptop side was not modified, only the android app.
I used KDE connect CLI to push to the android phones, Thank you all for that!

I conclude that this means the feasibility is certainly there but I do not have
the means to test it more broadly or address differing preferences on the
aesthetics, screen space use, security and the like. I certainly would like to
see the functionality originally proposed added to the official KDE Connect. 

I posted similarly via user oldgranola to the telegram channel.
