Python provides a library named keyboard which is used to get full control of the keyboard. It’s a small Python library which can hook global events, register hotkeys, simulate key presses and much more.
- It helps to enter keys, record the keyboard activities and block the keys until a specified key is entered and simulate the keys.
- It captures all keys, even onscreen keyboard events are also captured.
- Keyboard module supports complex hotkeys.
- Using this module we can listen and send keyboard events.
- It works on both windows and linux operating system.
Install using this command:
pip install keyboard
Example #1:
# Using Keyboard module in Pythonimport keyboard # It writes the content to outputkeyboard.write("GEEKS FOR GEEKS\n") # It writes the keys r, k and endofline keyboard.press_and_release('shift + r, shift + k, \n')keyboard.press_and_release('R, K') # it blocks until ctrl is pressedkeyboard.wait('Ctrl') |
Output:
GEEKS FOR GEEKS RK rk
Example #2: Keyboard module to enter hotkeys.
# Keyboard module in Pythonimport keyboard # press a to print rkkeyboard.add_hotkey('a', lambda: keyboard.write('Geek'))keyboard.add_hotkey('ctrl + shift + a', print, args =('you entered', 'hotkey')) keyboard.wait('esc') |
Output:
ark you entered hotkey
Example #3: Keyboard module also used to record all the keyboard activities and replay them using play method.
# Keyboard module in Pythonimport keyboard # It records all the keys until escape is pressedrk = keyboard.record(until ='Esc') # It replay back the all keyskeyboard.play(rk, speed_factor = 1) |
