Simple script to convert MIDI inputs to hotkeys on linux

Daemon to map MIDI input to keyboard strokes

Currently hardcoded to map piano sustain pedal to Zoom push-to-talk (Alt+A)

Instructions:

1. sudo apt install xdotool
2. aseqdump -l; replace Scarlett with name of your MIDI device
3. Replace mapping in case list with desired mapping
4. sudo cp midi2key.sh /usr/local/bin/midi2key
5. Run with midi2key &

I have so far been unsuccessful getting this to run on startup on Ubuntu 20.04, as it needs to be run in userland after display/MIDI device have been initialized. Things I've tried below that haven't worked:

• crontab -e (note do not run this as sudo as script needs to be run as user); add @reboot /usr/local/bin/midi2key & to end of file
