Android Keyboard Shortcuts
On my keyboard, there's three different stored Bluetooth connections, so why not use all of them? I already have stored settings for my work laptop and my personal laptop, but I use my phone every day, so why can't I use a non-touchscreen-based interface on the phone? Needless to say, I connected a mouse and keyboard to my Android phone.
Despite the interfaces not being designed for mouse/keyboard at all, it worked shockingly well, and I think this might become part of my regular usage if there's something process-heavy I need to do on my phone.
While kicking the tires, I was shocked at the lack of easily searchable blogs writing about this topic, see the main exception to this trend.
