gamesense.vim

(N)Vim plugin for asynchronous SteelSeries GameSense interaction.

Requirements

• Node.JS (no external dependencies required)
• (N)Vim with +timers, +channel, +job
• SteelSeries GameSense supported platform (Windows, Mac)
• SteelSeries GameSense supported device

Installation

Install with a plugin manager:

Plug 'hahdookin/gamesense.vim'

Features

• Illuminate function keys based on current mode.
• Draw current mode to OLED (Currently only for 128x40 pixel OLEDs)

Why Node is required

Interaction with SteelSeries GameSense occurs through HTTP POST requests. As far as I know, Vim does not have any API for sending HTTP requests natively.

When the plugin is invoked, a Node.JS server is created in the background and awaits messages from Vim. The plugin will send a message to the server periodically and the server will post the event to the SteelSeries GameSense product.
