Small util that allows creating ObinsKit key macros in your computer from a file containing a list of strings.
Clone the repo and run npm i.
Create a file that contains a list of newline separated strings for which you want to create macros for. For instance:
ha
haha
i
amalist
For now, only fully lowercase strings without spaces are supported (symbols may or may not be supported, try it).
Locate the path of your users' ObinsKit sqlite database. In Arch Linux it is $HOME/.config/ObinsKit/Run.core.
In other platforms the file name will be the same but the location will be different.
Cd into the repo dir and run node index.js <dbPath> <stringsPath>.
Each string will generate a macro, which you will then be able to see in the app itself.
Subsequent executions will not override existing macros or other macros that already existed.
If you'd like to generate macros for a new list of strings, you'll have to manually delete them in the app, or use a sqlite db brower to do so directly in the db.
(Hint: the macros generated by digHelm start at id 69 and go up from that).
- Properly support spaces
- Properly support uppercase
- Properly support symbols
- Options to control macro overwrite
- Control iteration start id

digHelm may, and very probably will, break or stop working altogether in the future, since it relies on generating a binary macro format that is then directly written to the keyboard by the app when you assign it to a key and download it. Which means that unpredictable stuff may happen.

TLDR: I will not be held responsible if your keyboard goes up in flames because of digHelm.
