I am looking for a Windows 11 app that acts like an on-screen keyboard with customizable buttons that when clicked will send the system a pre-defined set of keystrokes. I am wondering if Electron would be the right solution for this?
Details: I am a graphic designer / web developer. I want to find / build an app that I can use to make a toolbar with buttons to execute my most repetitive, time-consuming functions, or to select different tools in app, etc. I have a 12″ by 5″ touchscreen display that I want to use to display and interact with the custom buttons.
I made the GUI and some basic functionality with HTML, JS, and CSS already, but I can’t pass those keystrokes back to the system to be used in any other application. Would I have that functionality if I built the app with Electron? Is there an easier solution I should try instead?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
