Hello! Im new to coding and I really like the p5.js editor as it is simple to learn and non-intimidating. I want to see if there is a way to have the program recognise things that occur on my computer screen and have it execute commands based on what it sees. I’m doing this to hopefully make a data entry program that will help with my father’s business. Thank you for any help you can provide!

Hi @3rayio1  
P5.js is great, but for what you want the best is [Auto hotkey](https://www.autohotkey.com/).
