Feature Request: Meet Mute Button mapping

[davewongillies]

I don't know if this is feasible but it'd be great to be able to map the same mute button as in your https://github.com/jfedor2/meet-mute-button project

The shortcut to Mute seems to be CTRL+D: https://support.google.com/meet/answer/9298571?hl=en So to have the same effect you could:

• Take a Feather RP2040 USB Host board
• Use the boot button as the button to press (that is GPIO 7)
• Map the GPIO 7 to Macro 1
• Define Macro 1 to be Left (or Right) Control + D

And the result is a physical mute button for Google Meet.

You could also use another GPIO and solder those pin to a big button.

I hope it help (I tested on my computer).

That's different. Ctrl-D will only work when the window with the video conference has focus. The linked mute button project works even if another application is active.

Oh that explain a lot.

I was trying to read the code of your other project, and I could not locate the CTRL+D and I was wondering how it all work... so I did it my way.

The other thing that I was interested in is the color ring and that I did not have a way within hid-remapper to control the NeoPixel build into the Feather USB Host hardware. That could be an interesting general purpose feature to indicate the layer or activity. And I was also impress by one of your tweet that show a LCD attached to a kind of prototype. Since there is an I2C Stemma QT port on the Feather, and numerous LCD by Adafruit or other, it was also a sexy feature to have.
