kdeconnect-cli: Simulate a key press on a specific device.
$ kdeconnect-cli --name "${device_name}" --send-keys ${key}
try on your machine

The command "kdeconnect-cli --name "${device_name}" --send-keys ${key}" is used to send keystrokes from the computer running the command to another device using KDE Connect.

Here's the breakdown of the command:

  • "kdeconnect-cli" is the command-line interface for KDE Connect, a software that enables communication and integration between devices.
  • "--name "${device_name}"" specifies the name of the target device to which the keystrokes will be sent. The variable ${device_name} could be replaced with the actual name of the target device.
  • "--send-keys" is the action flag that tells KDE Connect to send keystrokes.
  • ${key} is a variable that represents the actual keystrokes to be sent. It could be replaced with the desired keys.

Overall, this command allows you to remotely send keystrokes to a specific device using KDE Connect.
