I have KDE Connect installed on an Amazon FireStick and the application installs (via F-Droid) and runs OK. It can detect other devices but I can’t “pair” with them. If I initiate the pairing from the TV, I can click on “Pair new device” and select the device from the list, but I can not move the cursor over the “Request Pairing” button to select it.

Same with if I initiate the pairing from the other device, I can’t move my cursor over the “Accept” or “Reject” buttons to select them. Is this a bug or weird quirk on FireStick? I am pretty sure I have used KDE Connect on Android TV before.

For those wondering why?!?!? I want to transfer NewPipe configuration files and other files to the device and also maybe use my laptop keyboard to type on FireStick.
