Re: Custom keyboard

I think this is where we are having a gap in communications. I'm not (and neither is the OP) talking about controling just any random app, but instead, sending keystrokes to applications built for receiving just that kind of input. Mousepad. Whats app I am guessing messenger side of things. Not, for instance, a game or drawing application, where a keyboard would likely have minimal business sending anything (although I remember some early paint programs that were designed for just that).FourthWorld wrote: ↑Tue Nov 12, 2019 12:59 amIf it were simple for an app to control input into another app everyone would be doing it, and the outcome in many cases wouldn't be pretty.
In any case, I'd have to guess that 99% of text and mesenger applications have been setup for keyboard or string input. I don't see what the sin would be in being able to make your own keyboard to send a string, such as Richmond's (going to mangle this, sorry Richmond) devangali thingie, to what essentially is a string oriented application. I sure can't sign you up for 'Boys life' from mousepad, or even from VIM
