Hello--

I am playing around with a serial port barcode scanner. The SerialPort class is pretty straightforward and I can read the input, but is there a way to then turn that input string into keystrokes that would just be sent to the active window in Squeak?

All I really want to do is start a task that watches for serial input and simulates "global" keystrokes as if the user was typing.

I imagine the answer to this question will greatly enhance my understanding of events in Squeak...!

Add your generated keyboard event to

Sensor eventQueue
