Could you build this?
No Dune is physical hardware (a custom mac keypad) paired with firmware and low-level macOS accessibility and window-server tracking drivers.
What it would actually take: Requires electrical engineering and industrial design (PCB layout, enclosure tooling, microcontroller firmware like QMK/ZMK) combined with native macOS software listening to CoreGraphics/Accessibility APIs to detect active window focus and dynamically re-map USB HID keycodes.
