I wanted to use this to copy my Android's clipboard to my Windows clipboard, which it claims to support but didn't. Uninstalled shortly thereafter.

I do this all the time and it works flawlessly. You must have the Clipboard sync turned on (3 dots at top-right > Plugin settings).

1. Copy your text on Android.

2. Swipe down from top and select KDE Connect notification.

3. Choose Send clipboard.

4. Disco.

Windows own "my phone" app supports this. KDE connect does support it at least on linux desktop.

Microsoft's Phone Link app only supports this on some phone models by some phone manufacturers. It might be all Samsungs now I can't remember.

Also, Phone Link uses a non-trivial amount of CPU (~7%) just to stay alive so I torched it with fire as soon as I could.
