No onscreen keyboard while Android TV Remote integration connected/enabled

[djgrazzy]

The problem

I don't have a great need for this integration but was giving it play anyway and have noticed a potential issue.

I have 4 devices (not all used regularly)
#1 TCL Google TV
#2 Chromecast w/ Google TV (4K original(
#3 Xiaomi Android Tv Stick
#4 Xiaomi MiBox S Android TV

I don't believe 3+4 have the issue but have available to retest and confirm if its helpful
#1 TCL Google TV has an issue where where if you get to a text box where a keyboard can be used (as an alternate to voice say you want to be quite or voice isn't resolving your request) the interface detects a remote device connected with remote control capability. This is the same behavior when my pixel is connected with google home in remote mode so it makes sense.
"use the keyboard on the mobile device) attached below
I don't know what the answer is to this problem but it appears this remote keyboard feature (handy for copy and pasting complex passwords) isn't built to handle mutiple remote connections but thought it bets to highlight for thought/discussion.

I think #2 has the issue as well but my partner has just taken it with her on travels. This would then appear to only affect the newer google TV interface and NOT the older android TV interface..

First time logging a git issue so please be gentle with criticism. Happy to provide more logs/info and testing but for me personally I don't use or need enough so have simple disabled for those devices.
