G20S PRO - Remote Control
keys remaps
- button - home - KEY_HOME - Present Windows (Current Desktop)
- button - light - KEY_COMPOSE -> KEY_LEFTMETA -> Andromeda launcher
- button - back - KEY_BACK -> KEY_ESC : So navigation on youtube and other apps is possible
On kde settings-> keyboard -> shortcuts KWin -> Present Windows (Current Desktop) - set remote control key - Home

Problem - requires restart bluetooth - after first connection for remote control to work (for example after reboot).
Remote Control must be in connected bluethooth state.
- /usr/local/bin/g20s-bluetooth-rebind.sh
#!/bin/bash
REMOTE_MAC="00:00:00:00:00:00" # Replace with your remote's MAC
echo "starting..."
# Wait until the remote is connected
until bluetoothctl info "$REMOTE_MAC" | grep -q "Connected: yes"; do
echo "Waiting for connection..."
sleep 2
done
echo "Restarting Bluethooth"
# Restart Bluetooth to trigger HID rebind
systemctl restart bluetooth
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/g20s-bluetooth-rebind.sh
