Python 3 Turtle - Hold 2 keys

So I have a turtle that moves left when 'a' is pressed.

def turtle_left():
    turtle.forward(-1)

turtle.listen()
turtle.onkeypress(turtle_left, 'a')

However, if I wanted another movement, for example pressing 'w' makes it move up, then it stops the turtle moving left. So what I'm asking is, can I have 2 keys being held at once to move the turtle, if possible I'd like to keep it in the turtle library - but maybe there is another key library that can help with this better.

Thank you!

Solution

  • Yes, you can do that without using any external library. I think this post is very similar to the given below.

    You can make an array of events and then process it on the basis of total events in the list.
