If you ever need to control the mouse using code then this is the module for you. In this case I press Enter (Key.enter)at the end of each line to create a new line. To use special keys such as Enter, ESC, Shift etc we need to pass the name of the key but with the Key prefix to say that we are using the keyboard. Note how there is a press and release function which emulates a quick tap of the key or if used with a sleep() between them it can emulate a long press. I store the letters inside a list and then use a for loop to iterate over each letter, typing each letter into the open editor. from pynput.keyboard import Key, Controller To press a specific key, in this case to type wrote this code. I added a pause of five second to give me chance to open the text editor window.
This code will type Hello World into any open text editor. To type a sentence or paragraph we use keyboard.type(). We then create an object keyboard which creates a connection from our code to the virtual keyboard. We import the pynput module, specific the Key and Controller classes which are used to access the keyboard. So how do I use it? Controlling the keyboardĪ quick intro is to create something that will type a message to the screen.
#PYTHON SEND KEYSTROKES INSTALL#
To install on Linux / macOS sudo pip3 install pynput I recently made a flight controller for a Raspberry Pi and I used this library to simulate keypresses when the controller, connected to the GPIO was used. Using this project to monitor a co-worker, friend or anyone else is immoral and wrong! Don't be silly, and use this tool for useful and good projects. With Pynput we can have Python simulate a keypress, move the mouse to a specific point on the screen and monitor the inputs. Pynput is a module which can control a keyboard and mouse, or it can monitor those devices and act accordingly. One of the earliest Tuesday Tooling posts was a keyboard simulator but this post covers a much better implementation, that does not require root access! So what is it? Control a mouse, create a virtual keyboard and monitor keyboard input with this handy Python module.
