I don't know if this would be better reported to KDEConnect proper, but if so, please let me know. Anyway, I have set Signal as my default SMS app, but when I send an SMS from the menu (or replies to one), the sent SMS is stored with the Android stock messaging app. It would be great if the default SMS app on the phone could be somehow deduced, and used for sending - for an Android app to be able to be set as the default SMS app, I assume that it must respond to at least a subset of an SMS sending API. I initially reported the request at https://github.com/Bajoja/indicator-kdeconnect/issues/110 , where the repo owner referred to you people.
Ahem, copy / pasted from the GH report I link to, but failed to strip the first line - sorry :-$
See https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=384315 for an explanation why we can't do anything about that. Sorry
Confirming, this does not work. If I hit reply on KDE Connect on PC and confirm, nothing happens, no SMS is sent. Signal is used as well.

Have you checked whether no SMS is sent or it just does not appear in Signal? Sending SMS does not rely on any SMS app at all, so Signal might just not know that one has been sent

OK, you are right. I just tested it with a friend sitting next to me. Actually, the response / SMS is sent, but there is no record of it in Android / Signal. Is it possible to add this record? Otherwise, it's confusing.
Investigated some more - there is response SMS in the factory-default Android app called Messaging (that is unused and not default now), but there is none in Signal.
