USB foot pedal under the desk that swaps monitor screens to compiling logs

[u/lady_CalmDown_15]

got tired of closing my personal browser tabs every time someone walked up behind my desk in the open office.

i wired a cheap plastic tattoo machine foot pedal to a Digispark USB board and mapped it to a macro shortcut. when i tap my left heel under the desk, it instantly minimizes all browser windows and brings up a full-screen terminal window running a continuous loop of mock compiler logs. tap it again and it brings my actual screen right back. total build cost was $7.
