I wanted to ask if there is a way to use my computer's keyboard to type on my phone while it is plugged into the PC to charge. I was wondering if anyone on here has a setup like this.
The end result needs to be: I can connect my phone through a dock or some other USB cable and either switch between Windows on my PC to type on the Android device or find an OTG device capable of charging *and* connecting a keyboard at the same time. This wouldn't be ideal due to limited desktop space.
I could connect a separate keyboard with an OTG cable, but this would stop me from charging it while using it.
I could also use AutoHotkey or something similar to send keystrokes to the Android device over USB, but I'm not sure how this would affect charging it or transferring files over USB as well. It could probably be done but I don't know where to start.
Ideally, this would be the option I'd use.
