[Frequently Asked Questions]

[What is the input code?]
It's the command or keypress that a scanner sends when you scan the QR code on the top right on the front or face of a Bash Card. Each card acts like a single key on a keyboard — it "types" a specific input into your terminal to trigger a script.
[What does the full input system look like?]
The full mapping of inputs by suit and rank is available here: → LaserKeys: Full Input Mapping
[Why does it look like just a number or a letter?]
The input code is deliberately minimal. Scanners can only send one quick input at a time, so the code must be short — often just "1", "done", "enter", or a single letter like "a". By default when scanners successfully see and obtain the information from the QR/barcode it then hits the [Enter key] interally. (settings for your scanner can me managed with manufacture barcodes to control your scanner) at https://static.rhino.mobi
[Is the input code the same as the script?]
No. The input code triggers a Keypress from a keyboard. The script, the actual logic, is stored on the back of the card (QR). The front is like a keyboard button. The back is the program.
[Why can't I change the input code?]
Input codes are locked to prevent confusion. Each card in the system has one purpose and one input. This makes scanning interface controlable by using the right card to control the options chosen in that given script. View the Full Scannable Keyboard: LaserKeys: Full Input Mapping
[Can I scan these on my phone?]
Yes and no. Both the front and back QR codes are designed for use with a USB barcode scanner, which acts like a keyboard key press. While your phone camera can read the QR codes, it doesn’t send the scanned input directly into a command line environment. Unless you install a terminal or SSH app on your phone, the scanned input goes nowhere useful. Even then, you can’t scan directly into the terminal — you’d have to scan into a notepad app, then copy and paste into the terminal manually. The system is designed for use without a keyboard. On a phone, you already have a keyboard — but using a **Bluetooth barcode scanner** alongside a terminal or SSH app does work. The back QR code is just raw text [a Bash script], and **can** be scanned with a phone camera to view or manually run the script.
[Do the suits matter?]
No, Each suit [♥ ♦ ♣ ♠] sometimes represents a category. For example: ♥ = Login and Sessions, ♦ = Admin and System, ♣ = Files and Storage, ♠ = Networking and Security.
[What happens if I scan out of order?]
Each card has its own interface so it doesnt matter the order you scan them in. but for choosing options like 1,2,3,4 you would use the first cards in the deck ["1"=A♥ "2"=2♥ "3"=3♥ "4"=4♥]
