Adds Edgepad to Remote Access, in alphabetical order between AnyDesk and Moonlight.
What it is. Two programs: an Android app, and a Windows tray app. The phone becomes a trackpad with multi-finger gestures, corner dials for volume/brightness/media scrub, an on-screen keyboard and a gamepad. They talk over Bluetooth Classic RFCOMM, so there is no account, no Wi-Fi, no pairing code and no network — just the ordinary Bluetooth pairing you would do for a headset. It works with no internet connection at all.
On the section choice. Everything currently under Remote Access streams a screen; Edgepad sends input the other way and never touches the display, so it is a slightly different animal — closest in spirit to Steam Link being there as a client rather than a desktop-sharing tool. If you would rather it sat under System Utilities, or not at all, say so and I will move or close this.
Disclosure: I am the author, so judge it on the code rather than on my description of it. For what it is worth against the slop bar in CONTRIBUTING: MIT, ~11k lines of Kotlin and C#, unit tests on both halves that read the same protocol fixture file so the two apps cannot drift apart, CI on every push, and written architecture and wire-protocol docs. It is new, and it has no stars — that is a fair reason to pass on it, and no hard feelings if you do.
