Abstract: A method includes receiving, by a processor of a computing device, a first keystroke signal from a keyboard indicating that a first key has been pressed. Prior to receiving the first keystroke signal, the keyboard operates in a first state. The method further includes switching, by the processor, the keyboard from the first state to a second state in response to receiving the first keystroke signal. The method further includes receiving, by the processor during the second state, a second keystroke signal from the keyboard indicating that a second key has been pressed. The first key is different from the second key. The method further includes determining, by the processor, a plurality of keystroke signals in response to receiving the second keystroke signal during the second state. The method further includes sending, by the processor during the second state, the plurality of keystroke signals to a second computing device.

Abstract: A method includes receiving a first keystroke signal from a keyboard indicating a first key has been pressed while operating in a first state, switching the keyboard from the first state to a second state. During the second state, a second keystroke signal is received from the keyboard indicating a second key has been pressed. In response, a plurality of keystroke signals is determined and sent to a second computing device during the second state. Further during the second state, a third keystroke signal is received from the keyboard indicating a third key has been pressed. In response, the keyboard switches from the second state to a third state. During the second state, the keyboard is compatible with a first type of computing device or word processing application. During the third state, the keyboard is compatible with a second type of computing device or word processing application.
