keyboard is pressed python code example

Example 1: 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 2: python check if key is pressed

import keyboard

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

Example 3: python pressed key

# pip3 install pynput

from pynput.keyboard import Key, Listener


def show(key):

    pressed_key = str(key).replace("'", "")
    print(" key: ", pressed_key)

    if key == Key.esc:
        # Stop listener
        return False


# Listener
with Listener(on_press=show) as listener:
    listener.join()

Example 4: python get key module

import getkey, os
def clear():
  if os.name == "nt":
    _ = os.system('cls') #Clear function
  else:
    _ = os.system('clear')
current = "" 
while True:
  clear() #Clearing, required at beginning at end in order for algorithm to work
  print(current)
  key = getkey.key() # Gets the key
  if key == getkey.keys.BACKSPACE: # Detects if key is backspace
    current = current[:-1]
  elif key == getkey.keys.ENTER: # Detecs if key is the enter(return) key
    break
  else:
    current = current + key # Otherwise, adds on the the current variable
  clear()
clear()
print("\n\n\n You typed: " + current)

Example 5: python keyboard press

import keyboard  # using module keyboard
import time

stop = False
def onkeypress(event):
    global stop
    if event.name == 'q':
        stop = True

# ---------> hook event handler
keyboard.on_press(onkeypress)
# --------->

while True:  # making a loop
    try:  # used try so that if user pressed other than the given key error will not be shown
        print("sleeping")
        time.sleep(5)
        print("slept")
        if stop:  # if key 'q' is pressed 
            print('You Pressed A Key!')
            break  # finishing the loop
    except:
        print("#######")
        break  # if user pressed a key other than the given key the loop will break

Example 6: python keyboard press

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
