The idea for this project came right after i got my new Korg Nanokontrol :) How cool it would be, to assign keyboard shortcuts to this midi-controller. I tried several programms, including autohotkey, but nothing fulfilled my needs.
Because i use both linux and Windows, i want this to be a cross-platform project. At this point, all the programs i tested earlier just dissappointed me. So lets do this on my own.
Basically, the first aim is to get a programm, that is able to detect midi devices and that excecutes user-defined keyboard shortcuts when pressing a key (or moving a knob or fader) on the midi device.
