I tried adding Keyboard.Print(“\t”); but I did not get a tab keystroke. But the \n (newline character) worked. Anyone know where you can get the full documentation for the Keyboard.print function or why this happened?

I was going through an entire list of Keyboard modifiers from an Arduino page and found this: Keyboard.press(KEY_LEFT_GUI);
It worked!

I bought a teensy after seeing this video and it’s awesome! I was just wondering if you could help me…I’m on a Mac and don’t see any code for typing the ‘command’ button. I tried [char ctrlKey = KEY_LEFT_GUI; Keyboard.press(ctrlKey);] but it didn’t work. Thanks in advance!

I’m going to use part of your build for my off the clock project. I’m not a programmer but I’ll figure it out. We already have a stock Easy button for when the problems are fixed. Thanks for the fun video.

The Teensy and the USB cable can be bought from the Teensy website. The link is in the description. (however, if you have a phone from the past 5 years, you will most likely have a mini-USB cable, especially if the phone is a smart phone.) The button and wires are available from any electronic store. Radio Shack is a great place for cheap supplies. http://www.sparkfun.com is also an awesome place.
