At the moment the two ways to trigger QLab remotely are through MIDI Show
Control or by remotely sending key events, for example using an X-Keys
surface:

I have also heard from an Italian puppeteer who controls QLab from onstage
using a bluetooth usb adapter, an Ericsson T610 phone, and an application
called Romeo:

Pretty clever little setup; he said it worked well.

Additional ways to control it remotely will be added relatively soon, but
MSC and remote keyboard input are the main options for now.

Hope everyone is happy, safe, and warm.   Aside from spending time with
the fam, I've been happily coding away during my vacation from the ol' day
job, and I'm excited about the stuff coming up in the next release.  I'm
aiming for sometime in the first week or two of January, but we'll see how
it goes.

Peace,
Christopher
