Virtual Keyboard ⌨

What is it? 🤔

Just a simple virtual keyboard which imitates your keypresses...that's all

NOTE: This only works for desktops/laptops. I don't know how this will work for mobiles, and I have no plans to implement as such.

Installation ⚙

Check for dependencies:

1. Make sure you have git installed and added on PATH.

   • You can check by opening a terminal(CMD/Powershell/MinTTY etc) and typing in it:

     git -v

   • If it shows you the version(eg. git version 2.45.1.windows.1), you are good to go!

2. Make sure you have Node and NPM installed and added on PATH.

   • You can check by opening a terminal(CMD/Powershell/MinTTY etc) and typing in it:

     node -v

     AND

     npm -v

   • If these work, you are good to go!

3. Make sure you have Python and pip installed and added on PATH.

   • You can check by opening a terminal(CMD/Powershell/MinTTY etc) and typing in it:

     python --version

     AND

     pip --version

   • If these work, and you don't get some scary red text, you are good to go!

Resolving dependencies:

After Installation...😅

If your keyboard is all over the place, here are two ways to fix it:

1. Press Ctrl and then scroll down. OR
2. Press Ctrl and then press - on your numpad.

I apologize for the problems, but as of now, I have no idea how to fix this... 😭
