Partial The UI and file-reading logic are simple, but the core deliverable is Switch homebrew that acts as a USB HID keyboard. That needs libnx and USB host-side knowledge that is niche and hardware-dependent.
What it would actually take: Write C/C++ homebrew against devkitPro and libnx that reads text files from the SD card, then uses the Switch USB host stack to present HID keyboard reports to a target device. The hard parts are the USB/HID plumbing on the console and testing on real hardware with a homebrew-enabled Switch. Embedded or console-homebrew experience is needed to debug it.
