This tip shows how to fix common KDE Connect issues, such as clipboard or file sharing stopping, by creating a custom command that quickly restarts the KDE Connect service.



The command can be configured in the #KDE Connect plugin settings and triggered from the phone, allowing the desktop service to restart without manually stopping and starting it.


Works on both #Linux and #Windows, though Windows requires reconnecting from the phone after the restart.
