SUMMARY When using a Wayland session of the Plasma desktop, I see the following issues with the slideshow controls: 1. The slide-change buttons have no effect 2. When the slides are in "Presentation" mode, using the pointer brings up the plasma panel, breaking the experience. 3. The Full-screen and Exit slideshow buttons do not work. I verified that everything (except the full-screen selection) works as expected on an X11 session of Plasma. I also checked with a Wayland session of GNOME using the GSConnect extension, and the controls fail to work. Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.93.0 Qt Version: 5.15.3 Kernel Version: 5.17.3-arch1-1 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 4750U with Radeon Graphics Memory: 14.9 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: AMD RENOIR
Observations: I can confirm that the KDE Connect slideshow remote forward & backward buttons do not function under Wayland, but do function under X. The pointer works as expected; however, it does bring up the panel/dock when in use as if KDE Connect were an application. The full-screen and Exit slideshow buttons do not work.

Same results as djmenig, possible duplicate of https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=448604 Does the Remote input -> Compose send works for you? For me doesn't work either.
What is "Compose send" supposed to do? I can't find any documentation on it.
(In reply to physkets from comment #3) > What is "Compose send" supposed to do? I can't find any documentation on it. With virtual input/remote input you can use the phone as a mouse. And with "compose send" you can send text (using the keyboard o the Voice to Text) to the Desktop. At the end compose send is sending keys to Plasma, same as the forward & backward buttons (that send a "n" and a "p") https://userbase.kde.org/KDEConnect#Virtual_Input
I see.. The behaviour is the same for me as well. I am able to move the mouse-pointer using the remote-input, but unable to type using compose-send.
I'm experiencing the same problems as physkets on my system with the following specs: Operating System: Nobara Linux 36 KDE Plasma Version: 5.25.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.99.0 Qt Version: 5.15.6 Kernel-Version: 6.0.5-201.fsync.fc36.x86_64 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 12 × AMD Ryzen 5 4600H with Radeon Graphics Memory: 15.0 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: AMD RENOIR Manufacturer: Dell Inc. Product Name: G5 5505 System Version: 1.12.1
I can confirm the problem. Slideshow control works on X11 but doesn't work on Wayland. Lucky I found this thread, as I would not have thought this to be related to Wayland.
