Typeeto: convert a Mac Bluetooth-keyboard (complete joke)

Typically, mobile gadgets are used as auxiliaries to work with computers, but sometimes it happens and vice versa. Today we make of Mac wireless keyboard that can be connected to the iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, gaming consoles, and various Android-powered device.

This magical transformation is possible thanks to a small utility Typeeto by Eltima. Noteworthy is the fact that is only installed on the Mac: mobile gadgets connect to it as usual Bluetooth-keyboard and work with all the ensuing consequences. That is, when the terminal is connected on-screen keyboard on a mobile device is hidden, system, and application appears support for hot keys, playback control, and in addition, are added some exclusive pieces like a general buffer exchange.

Initial setup is very simple. You need to turn on Bluetooth on your mobile device, open the settings on a Mac, and create a pair, and then connect the gadget to the Mac (first time only).

Next, select the target device from the dropdown menu, and Mac keyboard at the same moment becomes a Bluetooth-keyboard. Typeeto can bind to multiple devices and then simply switch between them. If you switch to another application on the Mac, the keyboard will perform its usual function. Therefore, for quick connection to the mobile device is convenient to use shortcuts (any combination can be set).

Most justified the use of such a scenario bunch to work with Apple TV or game console, completely deprived of the possibility of a comfortable text input. But the Apple TV I do not, but on the PS3, because of its closeness, Typeeto not work, so I spent the test on your iPad.

I can say that the connection to the device (as long as I work with other applications on the Mac) comes just two or three seconds. When this switch is available between the devices through hotkeys. All declared functions are working well: you can type the text in your notes, open your favorite websites in Safari, use the search engine Spotlight and exit to the desktop.

Due to iOS restrictions on emulation, unfortunately, it is impossible to change the input language using a shortcut (for this we have to use the onscreen keyboard), and switch between applications (the standard work shortcut OS X). The rest of the special disadvantages I have not noticed.

I must admit that the situation can be useful when Typeeto, quite specific and face them, not all, but if they do occur, the application will work best.
