miniKbd Two Encoder setup for System Music + Video Speed Control

This is my code for the miniKbd, customized from the TwoEncoder-Multimode starter setup.

In mode 1, it controls macOS system music – play/pause, up/down volume, and skip/prev song.

In mode 2, it controls the Chrome extension Video Speed Controller – play/pause, skip forward/back by 5 seconds, and speed increase/decrease.

To avoid existing shortcut keys on Vimeo, I have separately configured the Video Speed Controller settings to use W for decrease speed and E for increase speed.

Some useful strings and tools to use in spacing and kerning type.

Paul Barnes: "There should be the international standard of spacing tests," and recommended this:

(Text wasn't directly given, so this is what I remember).

Useful to adapt slightly as needed, but it's helpful that it's a simple, brief set of tests.
