Check if key is pressed using python (a daemon in the background)

Question

I\'ve created a python script in which an event needs to be executed each time I press the Super (or WinKey) on my keyboard.

How can one achieve this without the pyt

Answer 1

You can use PyUserInput for this purpose, which is a cross-platform solution, compatible, in your case, with X11.

Example with Super:

from pykeyboard import PyKeyboardEvent

class MonitorSuper(PyKeyboardEvent):
    def tap(self, keycode, character, press):
        '''Monitor Super key.'''
        if character == 'Super_L':
            if press:
                print('Super pressed')
            else:
                print('Super released')
mon = MonitorSuper()
mon.run()
