Sync with currently open window via serial messages #18

Closed 42Willow closed 9 months ago

Similar to https://github.com/astridos2go/PyCurrentWindow.

There's two parts to this:

It shouldn't be too complex, the python script running on the host machine only needs to be able to send a test serial message because implementing every OS is too difficult.

What this solves Having to manually select the current application on the macropad, instead it is selected automatically when I window is changed. The application menu functionality should be retained though for if the "current window" program isn't running on the host machine.

Never mind, there are already two existing PR's to implement serial communication.

It would be nice if one of them was reviewed and merged, as this feature would be very beneficial for productivity :)
