Hi Jan!

Fake Keyboard input needs to be implemented for KDE Connect (CC) as well,
where you can use a device (e.g. your phone) to send keyboard input to
another.

We looked a bit into the different input protocols, assuming one of the
on-screen keyboard ones would suffice, but we didn't find what to implement
yet.
