A couple of years ago with my old phone (running if I don’t remember wrong Android Pie) and my old laptop (running Manjaro KDE) I discovered KDEConnect and how it could enable a clipboard sharing feature similar to the one Apple provides between Macs and iPhones. It was great! Now, after having changed both my phone (now running Android 14) and my laptop (now running PopOS! 22.04) I wanted to reproduce that magic but I found out that with Android 10 some complications regarding clipboard sharing arrived and so it doesn’t work out-of-the-box anymore :(

I found some saying that the only way to do that was by the persistent notification button (still ok but meh) and some others reccomending some adb commands to make it work as it was before (which would be great but I wanted to investigate a bit more before pasting some random commands to my terminal)… but it was all kinda old content (referring to Android 10 or at most 11), what’s the situation as of today? Do you use clipboard sync? And if so, how?

    There is a config option that doesnt share passwords, “as marked by password managers” idk how well it works but it might block that behavior. On the PC side in clipboard configs in kde connect.
