Back again with another question thread looking for alternatives for my two most important apps that’ll make me switch to Linux+Android:
Is there anything like PastePal on Linux with an Android app? The biggest thing about PastePal is that it lets me create a catalogue of text/images snippets that I can call up at any time on MacOS with CMD + Shift + V
The best part about it is that on iOS, I can use their custom keyboard and paste anything from my snippets library from the keyboard in places that don’t usually allow you to paste text.
The app will sync everything I’ve copied on my Mac and make it available on my phone/iPad via either the app snippet library or the keyboard.
This is probably functionality that would be right up KDE Connect’s alley to implement if it doesn’t already exist.
KDE Connect can get you most of the way there, unfortunately you won’t be able to auto sync the clipboard from the phone to the PC due to an Android limitation (the other way around works instead), but you can still manually send it over. For example, to make it easier to access, I added the tile for sending it in the quick settings
There’s actually a hack to make sync automatic, I’ve been using it and it works perfectly https://github.com/draumaz/kdeconnectbidirectionalclipboard
someone needs to figure out a root method for Samsung phones that doesn’t trip Knox… I wish they weren’t the only OEM that had a complete ecosystem…
Oh, can’t really try that since it requires root, but that’s really cool!
