Hello world
'''
Creates a virtual output keyboard device and types "Hello world!" on it.

import map2
import time
map2.default(layout = "us")
reader = map2.Reader()
writer = map2.Writer(capabilities = {"keys": True})
map2.link([reader, writer])
reader.send("Hello world!")
# keep running for 1sec so the event can be processed
time.sleep(1)
To emmit custom events, we need an output device, so we create a virtual one using Writer.
The device needs the keys
capability in order to emmit keyboard key events.
Since we don’t want to intercept a physical input device, but instead send events programatically, we create a Reader.
Finally we need to link the input and output devices, so events can flow.
