KDEConnect Bluetooth Support

[Alexander Matthes]

Hi, I know, this is not really the same and a work around, but works for me.
To use KDE Connect over bluetooth I first I disconnect my smartphone from the mobile network. Afterwards I activate bluetooth tethering on my smartphone and connect my PC with it.
This creates a small virtual network between my smartphone and my PC - it works very well for KDE Connect. I use it when I cannot connect via Wifi, e.g. when in a hotspot or similar.

Maybe this helps until a native version is working. ;)
