kmHook

kmHook only works on Windows, is pure Python using only ctypes, time and no other dependencies.

kmHook currently, only french AZERTY keyboards are supported.

kmHook allows you to detect, synthesize keyboard & mouse events.

kmHook also implements various related functions, see below.

Example

import kmhook as km

while not km.is_pressed('pause'):
    km.sleep(0.001) # recommended so that you don't consume CPU
    if km.is_pressed_once('space'):
        km.continuous_relative_move(600, 400, 500) # moves mouse smoothly during 500ms

get_valid_key_names() -> tuple

Returns all the valid key names to use within kmHook

is_pressed(key: str | tuple[str] | list[str]) -> bool

Checks if a key or a sequence of keys is being pressed.

is_pressed_once(key: str | tuple[str] | list[str]) -> bool

Checks if a key or a sequence of keys is being pressed but only once : if the key was being pressed during the last call and is still being pressed, this function returns False... until key is released and pressed again.

press(key: str | list | tuple) -> None

Presses the key (a single str or a sequence of keys) but does not release it

press_and_release(key: str | list | tuple) -> None

Presses and releases the key or the sequence of keys.

release(key: str | list | tuple) -> None

Releases the key (a single str or a sequence of keys).

get_key_name() -> str

Waits for a key to be pressed and return its name.

get_mouse_pos() -> tuple[int, int]

Returns current mouseposition.

move_mouse_absolute(x: float | int, y: float | int) -> None

Moves mouse absolutely to coordinates (x,y).

move_mouse_relative(x: float | int, y: float | int) -> None

Moves mouse relatively to current position.

continuous_relative_move(x: float | int, y: float | int, time_interval: float | int) -> None

Moves mouse relatively, smoothly and continuously during time_interval. Is blocking.
