So I decided that I really needed a dedicated Toki Pona keyboard, so I made one! I got the cheapest USB mechanical numberpad I could find (a ROTTAY 22-key), and figured out how to use LuaMacros to re-bind the keys. This is about a billion times less efficient than building a macropad from scratch but it also cost like $15 so like… cool trade. At some point I will want to replace my cheap stickers with nicer keycaps, but for now, it’s fine enough. The cool thing about LuaMacros is that it distinguishes between keyboards, so my regular numberpad is still working normally, and only this little one has been Toki Ponized.
Hmm, I imagine it must be possible, I know there's a cool thing here that can turn typed words straight into sitelen pona as you go, but my skills are not nearly up to the task of figuring out how to combine that with a keypad.

- please help! This is my script for a macro numpad. it almost works. the only problem is that when i press a button it first puts out its original use (for example 5) and when being released it puts out my output (alt+home). anyone know how to block the first input (when being pressed, example 5)?
