hi

I'm wondering if it is possible to send this kind of data, directly to the OS (acting like an actual alphanum keyboard keys).

it's a bit hard to find with search engines since these keywords usually return stuff about midi keyboard and keys, nothing about computer keyboards.

thanks in advance.

this is actually possible by using midistroke, it converts midi input into keyboard strokes. it's osx only but I'm pretty sure there are alternatives for windows and linux.

hope it helps.

yes, there is also bome's midi translator ; I was just wondering if it was possible to do it from puredata directly (just to reduce the number of softs to use for a performance)

(it's just pure stupid perfectionism : I want to manage everything with puredata...)

but thanks

enter, i think is just

[key 10]

??

but the other ones you may need to use [keyname]

anyway, look up [key], [keyup], [keyname] and you will probably get on the right track

cool, thanks, gonna try this right now.

actually i was trying to do it the other way : outputing a keystroke from pd.

ahh, sorry, i didn't read properly.

here's the last time that issue was discussed on this forum, not much luck i'm afraid:

I have a labtop can add a usb key board in to pd ?. I mean can I use two keyboards and send different date with both keys boards
