SUMMARY
using kde connect from desktop remote input feature to control the android phone.

in this case, i used the "lock" to lock the mouse/trackpad to the phone and it works but at the same time, typing anything on the keyboard does nothing. 
when i "lock" the mouse, it should also allow me to type whatever i do on the desktop keyboard on the phone screen. 

note: i have "kde connect remote keyboard" as "on" in the "onscreenkeyboard"  in language and input.


yes. i am aware of the fact that by manually selecting "kde connect remote keyboard" this feature works but this should be a seamless feature just like what remote mouse is. i can use the phone while connected to the mouse but to use the keyboard i have to change the keyboard. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  connect desktop and mobile via kde connect
2. on dekstop open "remote input"
3.  click on "lock" to lock the mouse. check it works.
4. on the phone open the browser or any input box. 
5. try to type on the desktop

OBSERVED RESULT

typing on keyboad does nothing even when i have kde connect remote keyboard as on.
EXPECTED RESULT
