Keyboard Osc

This interface enables you to simulate keystrokes in any application over OSC.

Examples

With this app you can through OSC control any kind of keyboard-based interaction in across your operating system.

Combined with the AudioClassifier you can play Wolfenstein 3D using sounds:

Or play Tetris with FaceTracker2OSC

Usage

In bin/data/settings.xml you can set what keys to trigger and on what OSC address.

Keys

Under <keys> you can add another input by adding the follwing:

<input>
    <key>DOWN</key>
	<osc-id>1</osc-id>
</input>

<key> is name of the key (See possible keystrokes further down) and <osc-id> is the OSC message (number) the key will be triggered upon.

OSC settings

In the settings.xml you can change the port (<port>), the keystroke address (<address>) as well as addresses for enabling / disabling keystroke simulation (<enable> <disable>).

You can also set for how long each key will be pressed down for (in milliseconds): <key-duration>100</key-duration>

Warning 😵

When enabling keystrokes, the keys will be triggered in whatever app that's in focus, so be careful, especially with not having your source-code open at the same time.
