SUMMARY
Would be amazing if kdeconnect plasmoid had a simple button to "Mirror android screen" which would allow interacting with the phone. Ideally this should allow to unlock the phone as if the phone is in the hand (within bounds of battery saver I would assume).

This functionality would be similar to that Samsung+Windows integration which allows just this.

In the linux world, you can sorta achieve this already by using: https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy (so I suppose a lot of the code is already written).
scrcpy already works almost as intended, BUT is annoying to set up and it seems very hit or miss to work over TCP/IP (for example the snap package did not work at all over TCP/IP, but did over cable). Not to mention, it must require at least once to be set up over adb which means it may not work on some damaged phones. In this case a kdeconnect implementation may just bring new life to a phone.

Also this request can also take care of 422771 somewhat, not for scripting purposes, but most definetely for many other situations. With 425912 also implemented kdeconnect would be one of the best applications on android period.
