Can MDP receive and respond to computer keyboard keystrokes?

Question

Several programmable switch devices output computer keyboard keystrokes, such as Ctrl-Q or Ctrl-R. This includes X-keys and Elgato Stream Deck. Is there a way to use a button to detect keystrokes rather than midi? If not, can Stream Byter detect and convert keystrokes to midi?

Comments

No, and AFAIK StreamByter cannot either (nor MidiFire).

There are some external options like this https://www.bome.com/keystroke-to-midi but I think you'll find something for iOS out there.

On the other hand, at some point we'll implement, but NO idea about when. Thanks!

Bome seems a bit complicated and expensive. I am looking to control MDP buttons with hardware switches. Commercial matrix switch boxes generally output hotkey keystrokes. I might try to modify X-keys to add something like a Teensy to output midi when a switch is depressed.
