Looks like a user was clever enough to figure out you could connect a 2nd keyboard in order to use custom js.

I'd like to request the feature to treat the computer keyboard in a way more similar to a midi device, such that you can map custom js to a keyboard key.

I haven't done so yet, as I'm waiting for my midi controller to arrive. But according to a friend and what I can tell from the documentation, with custom js you can compose functions and map them to a device input.

With this feature request, users could program their own functions and map them to the computer keyboard. Might not be trivial to implement given the forum response by the dev, but I would still love to have this as it really opens up possibilities for the user.

ex: Load track and play deck1 + BPM sync > mapped to shift-left arrow

thanks!

We have a stalled PR, that can be used as a foundation: https://github.com/mixxxdj/mixxx/pull/1746

Do you have interest to work on this feature?

I didn't realize there was already a command for load track + play (bpm synced with sync longpressed on both decks). That was my main use case.

I would like to work on something. I don't know C++, but I might be able to figure some stuff out.
