Kobo as remote keyboard for smartphone

Hi,

I'm investigating the possibility of using my kobo (aura) ereader as a keyboard for my android phone eg when traveling and I have both with me anyway. Not sure how that experience would be, but I cannot imagine a full screen kobo keyboard + a full remaining screen for the android app would be worse than a small split screen android keyboard .

One possible path would be to use the "remote keyboard" app on the phone which just runs a telnet server and accepts input from a telnet client connecting to a specific port.

So now I 'only' need some kind of full screen keyboard for the kobo that forwards the keystrokes over a telnet connection.
Anything that could be used for that ? Or any projects I can start from to make such a thing ?

Thanks,
Bram
