Macros, Python and a Hotkey Keyboard #MacroPad #CircuitPython @webjessc

Web Jess documents a customizable macropad with various media controls, shortcuts, and macros.

You can make any key type “Hello World!” any time you press it. This is really just a simple example, though. You can pretty much set up any key to do anything (in the realm of keyboard and mouse commands at least) The possibilities feel endless, so I’ll likely come back to this project periodically.

It uses an Adafruit MacroPad keyboard with integrated LCD display, programmed in CircuitPython.
