I’ve found this fantastic video (bonus that the sound track used sounds like Kid Koala), together with the code… but it’s for Windows 🙁 Projects like this sometimes tempt me back to the darkside. Looking on through the list of projects I found another that I would love to give a try: Keyboard Anywhere I started out putting the project together, although disappointingly I ran into a wall trying to…
