Blog Post #5 – Back to the Basics

Utilizing Visual Studio Code, our team created an algorithmic demo in Python to suggest keyboard shortcuts based on “fake” inputted data.  For our demo, we focused on the end actions that a user would want to achieve. As seen in the image below, we used keyboard keycodes to assign numbers to each of the keyboard keys. Additionally, the demo successfully detected three different end actions. The first two suggested a keyboard shortcut and the third option detected that the shortcut was used.  

Example output of the python demo.

During our meeting with the liaison, we demonstrated the demo above. His main point is that we will be generating too many false positives with our current approach. Therefore, next week, we are brainstorming alternatives to potentially leverage big data instead of just having a purely algorithmic approach.
