Using ipad midi message through widi jack to control powerpoint in windows 11

Hi,
Please see the following example. You do not use routing for outgoing keystrokes. Instead you use a translator to request focusing a given application.

I only have on MIDI Port Alias from Incoming from the WIDI Bud as follows.

You can learn more about aliases from this tutorial.

Translator 0.0 takes an incoming PC Chang 0 from the WIDI Bud. It has 1 rule that will execute Translator 1.1 which will set the outgoing application focus. Then 10 ms later it will send the keystroke.

For my example, since I don’t have PowerPoint, I am simply focusing on Windows NotePad. You will need to select PowerPoint instead on translator 0.1.
