Hi,
Just purchased a Keybow mini, which I intend to put together soon. Until I find time to do so, I’m thinking up possible uses. One is that upon a buttonpress, (button goes from green to red) the keybow would read the contents of the host computer’s clipboard, put it to ChatGPT, retrieve the results and put those back on the clipboard (button goes back to green). All in the background, so I can keep using the computer for other things in the mean time.
On my research on this, I haven’t found possibilites yet to use the hosts’ internet connection or how to access the hosts’ clipboard. Is this even possible?
Thanks,
Philip
yes and no.
The keybow acts as a keyboard and sends key-events to the host. So the keybow can do everything a normal keyboard can do.
If you have an active program running on the host waiting for these key-events, you can do what you want with the key presses. So you need to write a program for the host which does everything you want to do (read the clipboard, send the content to chatGPT and so on). And you have to be sure that no other program running on the host (e.g. in the foreground) does intercepts/interprets your keybow key-events.
Hi,
Thank you for responding so quickly! And thank you for confirming what I feared. I’ll start thinking of other uses for my Keybow for now.
While not exactly what I initially wanted, thanks to this post: Setting up keybow software on a normal Raspbian OS, I now have my KeyBow mini internet-enabled.
