    • onclick
      • "UPARROW",wait 100ms, "RIGHT ARROW","RIGHT ARROW","ENTER"

observation windows only suggests only 3 options

under windows settings it says aviable in all languages hmm this could be a limitation

"windows settings" >"time & lanugae> typing"

"Show text suggestion when typing on he physical keyboard"

what is the engine that googles keyboard uses? https://research.google/blog/the-machine-intelligence-behind-gboard/ idea: reach out to these guys Cyril Allauzen, Ouais Alsharif, Lars Hellsten, Tom Ouyang, Brian Roark and David Rybach,

idea. add a microphone click button, does transcription.

combines audio driver and keyboard input  finite state transducers (FST)

Super small suddlety googles keyboard actually does autocomplete "auto fills out the next word without needing to interact"

looks like QMK has some brute force autocomplete via dictionary

https://docs.qmk.fm/features/autocorrect

only supports english as of 2026-10-06

updating the keyboard presses to be up arrow

https://docs.qmk.fm/keycodes

im currnetly working on making macro sequencal key presses work

most importan files

keyboards\oranpad\keymaps\default\keymap.c (the keybehavior definiation file) keyboards\oranpad\keyboard.json settings and configuration for he keyboard

is there a way for he keyboard to know what OS its running in?

last release of rpi pico firmware

known issues

  • when the autocomplete has less than 3 selectsion example
  • "is" "i" "🥲"
    • the emoji's second time will break the alinement and mess up the formating of he text
    • no sure how to fix this
