        ========

        

        Take full control of your keyboard with this small Python library. Hook

        global events, register hotkeys, simulate key presses and much more.

        

        **API docs**: https://github.com/boppreh/keyboard#api

        

        **Installation**: ``pip install keyboard``

        

        -  Global event hook on all keyboards (captures keys regardless of

           focus).

        -  **Listen** and **sends** keyboard events.

        -  Works with **Windows** and **Linux** (requires sudo).

        -  **Pure Python**, no C modules to be compiled.

        -  **Zero dependencies**. Trivial to install and deploy, just copy the

           files.

        -  **Python 2 and 3**.

        -  Complex hotkey support (e.g. ``Ctrl+Shift+M, Ctrl+Space``) with

           controllable timeout.

        -  Includes **high level API** (e.g. ```record`` <#keyboard.record>`__

           and ```play`` <#keyboard.play>`__,

           ```add_abbreviation`` <#keyboard.add_abbreviation>`__).

        -  Maps keys as they actually are in your layout, with **full

           internationalization support** (e.g. ``Ctrl+ç``).

        -  Events automatically captured in separate thread, doesn't block main

           program.

        -  Tested and documented.

        -  Doesn't break accented dead keys (I'm looking at you, pyHook).

        -  Mouse support coming soon.

        

        Example:

        

        ::

        

            import keyboard

        

            # Press PAGE UP then PAGE DOWN to type "foobar".

            keyboard.add_hotkey('page up, page down', lambda: keyboard.write('foobar'))

        

            keyboard.press_and_release('shift+s, space')

        

            # Blocks until you press esc.

            keyboard.wait('esc')

        

        This program makes no attempt to hide itself, so don't use it for

        keyloggers.
