n00b question: can you trigger Sikuli macros using one of the extra programmable buttons on a gaming keyboard?

Asked by Hex

So if I had like a logitech G-series keyboard or something similar with those extra programmable buttons- that comes with it's own macro software.. could I use one of those buttons to trigger a Sikuli macro?

This depends on what you can do with the macro software.

if it can replay mouse and keyboard actions:
have the IDE open with the script in question and trigger the run button (ctrl-R)

if it can issue command line execution:
you might run a script from command line (with this extra startup time of about 3-5 seconds for Python scripts)
