# GUIDE
# type freely! CTRL+D clears the text.
# backspace, space, and return function as expected.
# keys not recognised WILL print "UNKNOWN 0x??", but this is useful for extra key scans
#
# WORK IN PROGRESS
# CTRL + S to save text to the SD Card
# CTRL + O to open a text file
# UP and DOWN scrolling - (use cursor )
