Interested in contributing to KDEConnect

[Ahmed Ibrahim Khalil]

Hi Albert,

I'm happy that you liked it !

It is okay to commit by my name, I have no problems with that. But If you
please notify me when you commit the changes so that I could delete the
repositories from my Github account.

About the plans, I was intending to add two finger scrolling, but I am not
sure how to implement the right click, may clicking with two fingers in a
series way ?

Let me know what do you think.

Cheers
