Created attachment 167303 [details] Upper Case Characters Converted to Lower Case in KDE Connect SUMMARY *** In the latest version of KDE Connect (v24.02.0, APK v1.29.0), there is an issue with the "Remote Input" , specifically with the "Compose" functionality. When attempting to send text to my PC using "Remote Input" and "Compose," all uppercase characters are automatically converted into lowercase characters. This occurs consistently, regardless of the text input method used. Interestingly, typing out text using the on-screen keyboard works just fine. *** STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Ensure both the PC and mobile device are connected via KDE Connect. 2. Open the KDE Connect app on the mobile device. 3. Select the "Remote Input" feature. 4. Use the "Compose" functionality to input text containing uppercase characters. 5. Observe that all uppercase characters are converted to lowercase automatically. Expected Behavior: When using the "Compose" in "Remote Input," uppercase characters should remain unchanged and be transmitted accurately to the PC. Actual Behavior: All uppercase characters are converted to lowercase when using the "Compose" feature in "Remote Input," resulting in incorrect text transmission to the PC. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux: Archlinux KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.2 (wayland) KDE Frameworks Version: 6.0.0 Qt Version: 6.6.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This issue is consistent across different devices and keyboard input methods. It significantly impacts the usability of the "Remote Input" feature, particularly for tasks requiring the accurate transmission of text with uppercase characters.
Bump! please address this issue. I can not use kdeconnect because of this.
*** Bug 488548 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I can confirm this on Wayland - with both Gboard and Samsung Keyboard, the input sent via Compose send is converted to lower case; this does not happen on X11. Moving to general as the issue seems to be on the desktop side. If you experience this bug on X11 (with compose send, not with directly sending keyboard inputs), please mention this as a comment. duplicate bug 488548 mentions a line in waylandremoteinput.cpp that may be related.
I also can confirm this. I'm using: To send: Android 14 with FlorisBoard keyboard and KDE Connect 1.32.9 To receive: Arch Linux (kernel 6.12.3-arch1-1) with Plasma Mobile 6.2.4 (KDE Frameworks 6.8.0, QT 6.8.1) and KDE Connect 24.08.3
