Description

Keyboard#macro will type your keyboard on your behalf.

Usage

kbd.add_layer :default, %i(MACRO_1 MACRO_2)
kbd.define_mode_key :MACRO_1, [ Proc.new { kbd.macro("Hello") }, nil, 200, nil]
kbd.define_mode_key :MACRO_2, [ Proc.new { kbd.macro("World!") }, nil, 200, nil]

These macros add a line feed. If you want it not to add a line feed, add an empty array [] at the second argument:

Proc.new { kbd.macro("Hello", []) }

The second argument accepts an array of the following symbols: :ENTER :ESCAPE :BSPACE :TAB :PGUP :DELETE :END :PGDOWN :RIGHT :LEFT :DOWN and :UP.

The default value of the second argument is [:ENTER]. This is the reason that a line feed is added when you don't pass any second argument.
