PinePhone keyboard manual
#7
When using the convergence dock with Pinephone in the keyboard case, the dock should be plugged into the phone USB-C, but where should the external USB-C power supply be plugged into?  The keyboard USB-C port or the convergence dock USB-C power input?

Is either scenario safe prior to power management software being developed?  Is the PM software being developed assuming one configuration or another?  
With solely Pinephone branded accessories it is possible for the phone to have 4 power supplies at the same time.  2 battery, 2 external.  
Just looking for any unambiguous way to safely have 1 external supply powering the phone and dock, even if it demands removing a battery or 2.

Re: keyboard key shims.  I just noticed that the ID of the shims here https://avery.cafe/blog/a-quick-fix-for-...s-top-row/ are very close in diameter to the 1/4" hole size of Avery 5729 hole punch rings.  The OD is a bit large but can probably be trimmed square with a blade once it is on the keycap.  I haven't tried this yet.  They are also available in plastic, or 13mm OD which might have 6mm ID.
If someone has a guilotine paper cutter they could trim several sheets of the rings to key sized squares fairly quickly. Shipping a partial sheet of trimmed ring shims inserted in the manual with new keyboard orders might help a bit to mitigate complaints from current keyboard stock.
