I am trying to make a patch that receives MIDI input from a MIDI keyboard and translates it into keystrokes.

So for example I can play the midi controller and it will type a text in a text editor or message box in max or whatever (as long as you can see it)

I tried to use the itoa object (notein to itoa with some mapping you prefer) but then I dont know how to make those single messages into a text (also for example delete text if the delete/backspace button is pressed).

I removed mine (along with other externals) a while ago, now tried again but get only long error messages for every object I load. My Externals are in a folder and it is in the search path. The message tells about missing image, no structure in wrapper etc.
