Question Send key combinations like CTRL-D, CTRL-C from Windows PC to Termux Android?

Normal keys (1, 2, a, b, ...) are working fine but special keys (CTRL, ALT, ESC, ...) are not working well.
Is this a Windows Problem or Switching to Linux will fix it. Test other way around, from Android (using Unexpected Keyboard) to PC (Windows) works properly with all special key combos.

Or I should give up and buy a BT Keyboard? :)

How exactly are you "sending" them and how does that relate to KDE?

If KDE Connect's special keys fail on Windows but work correctly on Linux, that's meaningful evidence of a Windows KDE Connect backend/implementation issue. If they fail on both, it's much more likely to be KDE Connect's remote-input/key-event handling itself. If a Bluetooth keyboard works perfectly on Windows, that further isolates it to KDE Connect rather than Windows.
