I planned to use a barcode scanner to fill in text fields in a computer program. The barcode includes all necessary text including the enter keys such as “HELLO[[ENTER]]WORLD[[ENTER]]BARCODE[[ENTER]]INPUT[[ENTER]]”.
However, I ran into a problem wherein text would end up in the wrong fields which to my best guess is due to the computer program rerendering/refocusing some fields after each entry, and not being settled before input continues. Could I use this project between the scanner and computer to remap the Enter Key to send the Enter through and then pause for 500ms or so?
Based on the docs it seems a macro should work but I want to verify 2 things:
First, can you confirm if the running of the macro will delay subsequent output?
Second, is the input buffer large enough to deal with the entire input being stored until the macros finish and the whole message can be output over the course of a few seconds? I’d probably only use at most 200 characters of buffer at a time.
