Yup. My answer there wasn't clear enough, mostly because github tickets are not meant to be understood by end users. At least not without context.

The ticket you've linked states that bluetooth keyboards do work already: we can receive key events and map those to actions.

The same answer tells you what's missing, not directly but by pointing to the implementation on other platforms: when a widget with an input field is focused interpret key events as characters.

This is the required part to be able to write text using a keyboard (bluetooth or not) on android. Sadly it requires an implementation which nobody did yet. It is detailed in https://github.com/koreader/android-...ment-961005237
