Simulate Keypress on Front/Active Window via OSC

Java Run Time is required for this feature

• /keypress [string]
  • this command simulates a keypress on front window. Use this syntax for keys
  • ex. /keypress "space"
  • this simulates a space keypress on the active window
  • ex. `/keypress "h,i"
  • this simulates a h and then an i key press to active window
  • ex. keypress "control,s"
