Can usb.device.keyboard send strings?

[pudah]

Can the keyboard_example be modified to send a string upon button press instead of just a single keycode? Does anything like that exist for the micropython usb keyboard library?

Keyboards send characters. If you need to send a string, send it as individual key presses.

A simple solution should just be to wrap up send_keys.

I created my own macro keypad where I can add in longer strings to be used as demo prompts
part of that is translating strings, and sending that as keypresses.
The repo was still private , I switched it to Public just now.

Below text was entered by pressing 1 key on the keypad:

Review my meetings this week and create 5-7 categories that describe how I am spending my time.  
For each category, provide a short description and give me an approximate percentage of time I spent there.
