DEVELOPMENT NOTICE
I'm now working on a new version of 2Keys that is more modular.
Please see the v1
branch
Support
Windows is supported only as the server (where the hotkeys will run) and a raspberry pi is required to run the detector.
WARNING
This will download a copy of AutoHotkey_H, a DLL version of AutoHotkey
Building
To build & install the server, where hotkeys are run (for development purposes):
$ cd server
$ yarn
$ yarn run compile
$ yarn link
To build the detector (after installing Pipenv) (for development purposes):
$ cd detector
$ pipenv install
$ pipenv shell
You can then install it in the Pipenv shell's PATH with pip link -e .
If you want to install it globally, so you can use it with the 2Keys systemctl
services:
$ cd detector
$ pipenv lock -r > required_tmp.txt
$ pip3 install -r required_tmp.txt
$ pip3 link -e .
Note that with this 2Keys and its dependencies will be installed for the entire system.
Devices
Server: The device running the hotkeys sever, i.e. where the hot keys will be run
Detecter: Device that handles detection of key presses & which keyboard it is and sends this to the server
Sofware used & inspiration
