KeyDroid lets you interact with your Android device from the terminalusing adb, the Android Debug Bridge.
It enables control of your Android devices, like the Fire TV Playerand Google's Nexus player, from your cli. A decent analogy is:
kodikeys:kodi::keydroid:androidIn contrast to kodikeys, which lets you communicate with kodi,keydroid lets you control the entire Android system; it also attemptsto reconnect when the adb connection is lost.
pre-1.0, the initial keybindings will be in flux and all debugmessages will be shown. At 0.4, all keybindings should beconfigurable.
On a final note, I would like to create an organiation to house thisproject and all of the keymaps for different devices. The keydroidaccount already exists on GitHub, so I am open to suggestions for newnames.
I createdTightPants as a Firefly reference, with a tp subrepo, buttp as a command to supervise connections to Android devices?Something better must exist. If you can come up with a goodalternative, I will link you (or your company/organization) in thisREADME file forever.
$ go get github.com/stephenwithav/keydroid$ glide update$ go install github.com/stephenwithav/keydroid
