Could you build this?
Partial Mapping standard Bluetooth HID inputs is simple, but intercepting custom Bluetooth remote control protocols, handling audio streams from the remote's microphone, and bridging them to macOS accessibility APIs is tricky.
What it would actually take: The app requires native Swift/Objective-C development using macOS IOBluetooth and CoreBluetooth frameworks to negotiate proprietary remote control profiles and continuous push-to-talk audio input from Bluetooth remotes. It must also leverage macOS Accessibility APIs and CGEvent injection to execute contextual keystrokes and system shortcuts securely without sandbox violation issues.
