Have you ever had to pause a game to design a new keyboard so you could play the game better?

I have a one-button keyboard always attached to my laptop, and I had a program loaded to make keep hitting one key, and then I needed another 1-key program so I just modified the first, but then I realized sometimes I need both.so now you can hold the 1 button to toggle between programs, instead of just off-on.

for now it's hardcoded to 2 programs but I'm already considering how I can expand it to arbitrary macros. maybe morse? I just enter the function name in the one key by morsing it, and it runs that sub-program

@fooneNot build, but recently I discovered that Night in the Woods has rhythm sections and promptly shut off the game to find out how to turn my midi keyboard into regular keyboard

@foone You've made your own StreamDeck Nano, then. :)

@foone i made a one button keyboard for staging in kerbal space program. One of those aliexpress big red e-stop buttons and i pulled the little pin out that used to make it latch so it'd be momentary. Much more satisfying than the space bar.

@foone Add an accelerometer and detect how hard you hit it.

@foone Time-division multiplexing. Every 1/n of a second the button's meaning changes.

@foone Mount the key on the top of a rotary encoder so the key is static but spinning the shell changes the app. Possibly with Leds showing the current encoder value so you know the program you're on. Or counting in binary if you want 2^28 programs set up. This may tax the arduino's storage.

@foone I think you are the patron saint of “necessity breeds invention/innovation” and I love that about you

@foone two buttons are a serial port right? Label one 'clock' and one 'data'. Then just work on your riffs.

@foone Yes. But just a virtual keyboard: reassigning keys (especially WSAD for an AZERTY).Never touched hardware as I expect from you!
