Write to text source , using only keyboard.

• 

MCOSU full screen example

see demo

Setup

• download ,add it via Tools > Scripts > + button
• create hotkeys for on/off. Search for "Restart" and "Stop" in settings

Usage

• Restart hotkey clears buffer and hooks keyboard
• Stop hotkey clears buffer , updates text source to be empty.
• Enter will show all characters that has been registered since restart was pressed.
• Backspace - delete one character . Note : repeat delay e.g pressed down , will only delete one character regardless of how long it has been pressed down.

Limitations

• only English (ANSI characters) currently supported. However keys can be remapped and added,see keyboard_layout table and this file: https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/blob/master/libobs/obs-hotkeys.h
• remapping shift , backspace , enter(or backslash on UNIX), or any character / character + shift IS NOT persistent

How it works

First its generates keyboard settings in json , then its creates mapping to callbacks for characters with shift and without, then on Restart button hooks keyboard_layout mapping, and until enter is not pressed (or Restart itself) it's accumulate text , on enter updates text source with that.
