Macros, Python and Hotkeys
Oh my? Last week I started a Macropad side project. If you’re not already familiar, a macropad is a small keyboard that can be customized with various media controls, shortcuts, and macros. Explain it to me like I’m 5? Sure! You can make any key type “Hello World!” any time you press it. This is…
