SUMMARY

Spectacle doesn't pop up an entry to share to a device directly if it's already connected via KDE Connect. Instead the way to share to a device is to go to Export > Share > Send to Device > It spawns a new window. This is also the case for the bottom bar during the full-screen overlay. 

The process would make sense if there's multiple devices to share to but that's not the case often for many setups. A quicker and less cumbersome way to share would just be to replicate the way Discover does sharing. 

Attached an image showing the discrepancy.
