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.

I want to control OBS Studio with a MIDI device. OBS Studio does not presently support MIDI directly.

I want to communicate to my MIDI controller with Pd. I want to translate MIDI note-on/off messages into keystrokes and pass those on to OBS.

Can I emulate "midikey2key" in Pd? https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/control-obs-with-midi.32881/ https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/control-obs-with-midi.32881/ http://75r.de/midikey2key http://75r.de/midikey2key

I guess I could also use obs-websocket <https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/obs-websocket-remote-control-of-obs-s... https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/obs-websocket-remote-control-of-obs-studio-made-easy.466/>

Thanks for your ideas :) BH
