python keypress code example

Example 1: how to simulate a key press in python

# in command prompt, type "pip install pynput" to install pynput.
from pynput.keyboard import Key, Controller

keyboard = Controller()
key = "a"

keyboard.press(key)
keyboard.release(key)

Example 2: Presskeys in python

import pyautogui

# Holds down the alt key
pyautogui.keyDown("alt")

# Presses the tab key once
pyautogui.press("tab")

# Lets go of the alt key
pyautogui.keyUp("alt")

Example 3: python check key press

import keyboard
# if key 'a' is pressed 
if keyboard.is_pressed('a'):
	print('a key has ben pressed')

Example 4: python get keypressed value

import keyboard  # using module keyboard
while True:  # making a loop
    try:  # used try so that if user pressed other than the given key error will not be shown
        if keyboard.is_pressed('q'):  # if key 'q' is pressed 
            print('You Pressed A Key!')
            break  # finishing the loop
    except:
        break  # if user pressed a key other than the given key the loop will break

Example 5: python check if key is pressed

import keyboard

# Check if b was pressed
if keyboard.is_pressed('b'):
	print('b Key was pressed')

Example 6: how to detect keypress in python

# in console: pip install keyboard
import time
import keyboard as kb

key = "a"

while (True):
	if (kb.is_pressed(key)):
		print("a pressed")
	
    time.sleep(0.001) # decreases CPU usage
