Remote input from your phone:

1. Open LeanKeyboard on the TV and focus a text field.
2. Make sure the TV and phone are connected to the same local network.
3. Scan the QR code shown in the keyboard UI.
4. Type on your phone and submit the text to the focused field on the TV.

If no LAN address is available, LeanKeyboard will show that QR pairing is temporarily unavailable.
