How I messed up by accidentally replaying all my keystrokes from the last few days

Nerf dynamic macros (how I messed up by running one that has been recording for days) ยท Issue #595 ยท jtroo/kanata
github.com

After getting a comment from the creator of kanata (an awesome piece of software by the way) that he found my story amusing, I figured that I'd also post it here, partly as fun, partly as a cautionary tale. Also, I'd appreciate any tips as to what to check for in my system, it's a weird feeling to know that some stuff might have been messed up under the hood.

Yes, this keyboard idea was quite a rollercoaster, because at first I blamed myself for not pulling it, but then I realized, that it wouldn't have helped even if I did, as Kanata keeps running just fine with the bound input device removed. ๐Ÿ™ƒ

(Edit: Oh, sorry, you meant the power cable! ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ)

I think they meant pull the power cable out ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Oh, sorry, I must've been replying to a keyboard related comment earlier and got the context mixed up in my head! ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ
