Example 1: how to execute key combinations with keyboard python lib

from pynput.keyboard import Key, Controller

keyboard = Controller()

# Press and release space
keyboard.press(Key.space)
keyboard.release(Key.space)

# Type a lower case A; this will work even if no key on the
# physical keyboard is labelled 'A'
keyboard.press('a')
keyboard.release('a')

# Type two upper case As
keyboard.press('A')
keyboard.release('A')
with keyboard.pressed(Key.shift):
    keyboard.press('a')
    keyboard.release('a')
    
# Press keys with hex, code in: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/inputdev/virtual-key-codes
keyboard.press(KeyCode.from_vk(0x5C))
keyboard.press(KeyCode.from_vk(0x27))
keyboard.release(KeyCode.from_vk(0x27))
keyboard.release(KeyCode.from_vk(0x5C))
    
# Type 'Hello World' using the shortcut type method
keyboard.type('Hello World')

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
