KDE Connect helps those with limited vision!

My dad has dry macular degeneration and cannot see low contrast or small font any more. Over time the impairment will worsen. This makes using a normal keyboard impossible because he cannot see the font on the keys.

However, with KDE Connect remote input, he CAN see the on-screen keyboard on his bright tablet display and control the mouse/keyboard on his TV, using his android tablet from his living room chair.

Can you please add a way to create a widget/shortcut in android that immediately opens the remote input to the connected device? I would like to reduce the complexity to one tap on the widget/shortcut that immediately provides remote keyboard/mouse control of his KDE desktop.

Another user has posted that they would like the ability to do the same with Media too.
