I can always type on android phone and shared to laptop with KDE connect, but is there the other way round ?
It is easier to type using computer keyboard and send it to phone.
I am the first timer of KDE connect, please teach me.
Thanks.

I've done this on occasion. First, in the kde connect settings on your PC, make sure the "Remote keyboard from the desktop" plugin is checked for your phone.

In your phone's settings, search for "keyboard" and you should see a "Manage keyboards" setting - click that. If you have the kde connect app installed, you should see "KDE Connect Remote Keyboard" as one of the keyboard choices - turn that on.

Then on your phone, click on the text field where you want to type, and when your default keyboard appears, switch to the KDE Connect keyboard. (On my phone, when the keyboard is open, there is a small keyboard icon in the lower right corner I can click to switch keyboards.

Then, on your PC, left-click on the KDE connect icon in your system tray. The window that pops up should have a text box labelled "Remote keyboard". Click on that, and anything you type in there should be echoed on your phone
