Hey everybody!

Is there any way using this or another solution to type with a bluetooth keyboard within the KOReader (with a Clara BW)?

I'd love to be able to type more elaborate notes and use the KOReader text editor as a sort of writerdeck for small texts. For months I've been checking on this open issue for the kobo.koplugin, but there's been no update since last December: https://github.com/OGKevin/kobo.koplugin/issues/59

Would be very thankful for any clues. If I manually have to map each key to a letter, I'm happy to do it, but I don't know if it's feasible or if I can only map to KOReader actions with the method above.
