[PATCH 0/2] Add support for the new phone link hotkey on ThinkPads

Posted by Illia Ostapyshyn 1 week, 1 day ago

The Lenovo Thinkpad T14 Gen 5, T16 Gen 3, and P14s Gen 5 laptops feature a new
hotkey on F11 showing a smartphone and a laptop chained together.  According to
the user manual [1], it launches the Microsoft Phone Link software used to
connect to Android/iOS devices and relay messages/calls or sync data.

This new keycode can be interpreted by desktop environments to lauch free Phone
Link alternatives like KDE Connect or GSConnect.
