Hello!
As an architecture student, I spend a significant portion of my life drafting in AutoCAD. It can be very time consuming to type out a command every time you need it, for example 'MOVE' or 'MIRROR' or 'EXTEND'...
So I had an idea...would it be possible to build/buy an external keyboard with programmable buttons with macros (commands) for different software, like for example AutoCAD? I would press a button, and the keyboard would automatically type out the command. What kind of software would I need?
I hope you know what I have in mind :)
