As the title says, I'm trying to find a node that is still supported (tried multiple different nodes in the pallet manager, most failed to install) that can create a payload from a single keystroke?

If on a Pi - the pi gpio nodes include a keyboard node for the pi that returns the scancode

I've been trying that but for some reason when I drop the rpi keyboard into my flow and deploy it shows "stopped" under it. And if I attach it to a dbg I am not receiving anything out of it.
On the flip side I am able to use rpi mouse, left click works as well as right and middle click.
Not sure why my rpi keyboard is showing stopped though, any ideas?
