Easiest way to detect and simulate press of keyboard button?

[Scarwolf]

What is the easiest method for setting up the flic on windows and emulate the press of the button "q" for example on the pc?

I set your lib up already with the nodejs client, which works great, but this can only be used for the specific website, not system wide.

I would suggest you use the C# client. Then use something like http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3047375/simulating-key-press-c-sharp.

Thank you very much.

Any chance you guys are releasing a tool for windows someday which allows to trigger certain actions? (Launch an Application, press a key,...).

I love my flic button, and would like to integrate it into some projects for our company, but it is really hard to do that right now without using an android based phone.

Not in the near future, but we have it on our todo-list.

Hi any updates on this? I want to sync to my PC and send a F1 keystroke for the Steam Knock Knock feature when using the Vive VR. Would be great to have a flick outside on a wall.

Yeah this is why we got the buttons.

With Flic 2 our suggested approach is to instead configure it as a standard Bluetooth keyboard in the Flic app via Android/iOS. You can select that the button should act as any preferred key. Then disconnect from the phone and connect it to your PC using the standard Bluetooth system settings.
