Like if I pressed the key a
for 1 second , when I remove my finger from the key ( releasing the key ) , It will print("Key 'a' pressed then released")
.
I trying to do it with module keyboard
but I have no idea about how to use it for this. I used to detect keypress with it.
msvcrt
module don't work for me but if msvcrt
can do what I want , then you can answer me.
I Don't want to use Pygame
or any other module
which will show pop-ups
You can use the pynput
module:
from pynput import keyboard
def on_key_release(key):
print('Released Key %s' % key)
with keyboard.Listener(on_release = on_key_release) as listener:
listener.join()
According to the documentation of pynput
keyboard listener is a thread, which calls the function specified on on_release
with the key argument. You can also specify a on_press
function.
Edit:
As asked in discussions, you can stop the listener by returning false
from the on_key_release
function. Like that:
def on_key_release(key):
print('Released Key %s' % key)
return False
