Rather than manually pressing a key each time you start the script to identify the keyboard, this will attempt to look for a config.txt file, containing a substring belonging to the keyboard device instance path. If the config file contains a value, it will automatically set the keyboard to the one which contains the substring. I'm using the vendor ID, however you can use any part of the device instance path. If no config file is found, then it will prompt you to press a key, and then print out all detected keyboards. On the line labelled MACROS, you can copy the VID or PID into a new config.txt file to remember that device.

This seems like a sensible change which would allow the keyboard identifier to be saved outside of the LUAmacros code. This would mean that a user never has to edit the LUA code and instead can just edit this file.
It would require the user to create the file though. It would be ideal to set this up instead in a way that purely requires them to edit a .txt file which would be stored in the repository.
I would personally add

Rather than manually pressing a key each time you start the script to identify the keyboard, this will attempt to look for a config.txt file, containing a substring belonging to the macro keyboard device instance path.
If the config file contains a value, it will automatically set the keyboard to the one which contains the substring. If no config file is found, it will prompt you to press a key on the macros keyboard, and then print out all detected keyboards.
On the line labelled MACROS, you can copy a portion of the device instance string into a new config.txt file to remember that device. I'm using the vendor ID (
VID_24F0) as my keyboards are two different brands, however you can use any part of the device instance path.
