Hi,

I'm building a daemon to capture the commands from a Contour ShuttleXpress to send OSC commands to other software and don't want to be stuck with [key] because Pd will probably not have the focus. The patch runs in the background like a good daemon should.

I wasn't able to get [hid] to work with Pd Vanilla 0.48 on a Mac. I only managed to get it to work with Pd extended. Is there an alternative for recent versions of Vanilla or is there something else that needs to be installed? I tried to use libdir but no luck so far.
The help patches won't work either.
I could get it to work on Pd-extended, but I would like to see if there is an alternative with recent vanilla versions.
