I can't try this out because currently I don't have my MIDI keyboard and
interface available at home. But it looks like a pretty cool thing if I
understand it right that it is essentially independent of the actual
editing environment you're using because it behaves like regular
keyboard input from the editor's perspective.

I hope that installation is actually straightforward enough for people
to actually use the tool and build some base for future development.

Best

Yes, it's independent of the editing environment. It sends keystrokes to wherever the keyboard focus is.

I've tried to make installation as straightforward as I know how to at this stage. We'll see how user-friendly it turns out to be in the real world. But if there is demand, I could try to learn how to make a package.
