Description Plata 2024-06-23 16:28:33 UTC 
SUMMARY
Since Plasma 6.1, the remote input permissions are persistent. However, remote input does not work with the kdeconnectd which is automatically started (other KDE Connect features work). After killing kdeconnectd and starting kdeconnect-app, it works.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Setup KDE Connect, allow remote input
2. Reboot
3. Try remote input

OBSERVED RESULT
nothing happens

EXPECTED RESULT
remote input notification pops up and remote input works

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.0
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.3.0
Qt Version: 6.7.1

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
on Fedora Kinoite, autostart probably via /etc/xdg/autostart
Comment 1 Plata 2024-06-23 16:36:48 UTC 
Starting only kdeconnectd manually, does not work: It shows the dialog for the remote input permissions but does not persist the setting.

My current workaround is this login script:
---
#!/bin/bash
sleep 10
killall kdeconnectd
sleep 5
/usr/bin/kdeconnect-app &
