Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

some games/emulators have hotkeys in the keyboard keys that i can't use in moonlight streaming

Describe the solution you'd like

on-screen overlay keyboard keys like controller keys, and ability to have 2+ keyboard key macros

Describe alternatives you've considered

I've looked for programs to create macros and have them in overlays but I haven't found anything

Screenshots

I too would like this feature implemented. I did browse the code in android studio and I think it's a possibility, I've not contributed to this repo yet so i'd not like to be stepping on anyone else's toes if this is already under consideration.

The UI of magic dosbox, input bridge and the like would make quite a bit of difference when you're trying to play games like CIV2 or other strategy games.

One thing i'd be interested to know is if the current window handle is passed to moonlight at all or if it's accessible via game stream. I suspect it's just AV, sync and input data though I've not looked.

Bearing all this in mind it's not an easy task to implement a reliable game ui editor, store it and possibly share controller profiles that are created, though considering moonlight is far more reliable than steam stream i'd say it's worth it.
