Possible to use laptop's keyboard to type in Android? Is it possible to use a laptop's keyboard to type in Android? If so, how?

Note my current setup:


Freshly unpacked Samsung S4 mini
Prefer solution which does not require rooting
Laptop running Ubuntu (Linux), with Bluetooth etc


Further: Any security concerns?
I haven't used it in awhile, but something like AirDroid or the like could be helpful. I've heard of a handful of apps that work in the same fashion, exposing your Android device to a browser on the local network. 

With AirDroid running you can connect to it on your laptop using the IP address of the phone and a port number. Something like this: http://XXX.27.21.11:3456

The browser window will let you control the phone. I used it a few times to write long texts/emails. It does a lot, you should be able to initiate calls, browse phone data like contacts, look at media, etc.

I just scanned a review of the new version, it sounds much better and doesn't require your phone and laptop be on the same network.
