[PD] Can Pd pretend to be a USB keyboard?

[Dan Wilcox]

There isn't a way to generate system-level key or mouse events from within Pd. You'd have to use the platform native interfaces and probably write some code or use a user testing/scripting library.

I would go with the networking socket as that would work on both Windows and Linux.
