I am not a good coder so I hope you can help me out with this one. Please look at my code. I use this code to convert characters to code which is send over to a computer. This code is interpeted as HID keyboard code. I have 2 questions:
1) When code is executed, double signs like "AAA" or "111" are reduced to 1? So "A" and "1" while the preview looks ok?
2) How can I improve this code so I can also send special keystrokes. Now every character is processed seperatly. The dictionary states "TAB" for a tab sign and "DEL" for the delete key. But if everything is matched by character the whole word can never be found and thus the correct code cannot be send.
I hope you are willing to help me improve this code.
Thank you!

write_report(NULL_CHAR * 8)
You type:
for letter in user_input:
if letter in values:
translated_list.append(values[letter])
it's not necessary to add the (values[letter])
I got the duplicate part of your code fixed by doing:
for letter in user_input:
if letter in values:
translated_list.append(letter)
