As a pilot who plays exclusively in VR, a common frustration is having to type System names into the Galaxy Map, as well as needing to flip over to tools like https://inara.cz every time you need to find a Material Trader or Technology Broker. While an annoyance in the flat game, it's excruciating in VR, even with the advent of virtual desktops and keyboards. However, after some development, it became apparent that it may be useful to more than just VR players.
The basic premise is that EDPA will track keybinds globally, and based on configuration, populate a list of systems. This list can then be navigated with "Prev" and "Next" keybinds, reading each one aloud. A "Type" keybind will simulate keyboard input and type out the system name. This is specifically intended for entry into the Galaxy Map search box. These keybinds can in turn be easily triggered by the likes of Voice Attack, Joystick Gremlin, Autohotkey or a space hamster trained to press keys on the appropriate olfactory command.
