With the upcoming release of Natlink, and also natlinkcore, the env variable to optionally define the directory for the natlink settings has been changed into NATLINK_SETTINGSDIR. This was NATLINK_USERDIR.

I propose a few changes in the doc files, natlink/docs/faq.md (will push to PR).

For this documentation site, the menu could be "flatter", so you get "Install" and "Migrate legacy scripts" immediately when you open the site.

Moreover, natlink.playString is valid again, as it just runs via dtactions.sendkeys.sendkeys('abc')

Possibly more comments to follow.

Aaron, hopefully we can do the installer and the pip things of other packages in the coming week...

Should be complete.

Nice, Aaron!!!

Why only point to the natlink congifure CLI and not to the GUI? on the Install page...

In the migrating changes, you can now write that playString not runs via python functions, but can still be called the old way. So obsolete can be removed, I think...

playEvents is another story:

With Dragon <= 15, playEvents works as before.

The natlink.playEvents function is not running in Dragon 16 any more. Work is being done to restore this functionality, but this will not be soon.

At least mouse clicking, in cases where it was done via playEvents, can be done via unimacro.unimacroutils.py in dtactions. More to be found soon here and on https://dtactions.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

Hope you can use this!
Greetings, Quintijn
