I've always been annoyed, that there is no sane way to use programs on my android phone on my desktop and use the keyboard I'm working at.
Sometimes I want to send off an #sms and just want that dialog of the phone be available on my notebook.
On the #mobian #pinephone just compiled #waypipe as well as on my notebook.
On my notebook using waypipe called #chatty via ssh on my #pinephone. Chatty showed up on my notebook :).
Sending and receiving works.
@chrichri Thanks for the pointer to #waypipe, this seems like a good way to facilitate #convergence between devices, e.g. a @mobian #pinephone and your #linux laptop.
Not completely worry free, but I'd say it would be worth dpkg :).
@chrichri Just compiled and tried it out, but all that "waypipe ssh pinephone chatty" does (when invoked on the Laptop) is to start chatty on the pinephone display 😣
Not entirely worry free...
There's an instance of chatty running as a daemon. You need to kill that before you can get the window showing up through waypipe.
And after closing I guess you need to restart the daemon on your phone to have SMS working - but didn't try, yet.
Mine is still running on my notebooks desktop :).
As a general test kgx (King's Cross) worked for me without further changes.
Try right-clicking on the title bar. In my x-based desktop I can choose resize or move from the context menu.
@chrichri Fancy! kgx works (can't resize or move the window) but input/output works fine. Thanks for the pointer!
