  • Cross-platform hotkeys and hotstrings?
    2 projects | /r/AutoHotkey | 21 Feb 2022
    If you needed a cross-platform solution today, I would recommend looking into Python and some of its related ecosystem, such as the keyboard package, which provides cross-platform hotkey support and keyboard automation, including 'word listeners' and its companion module mouse.

    It's basically two lines of code in Python with the keyboard module:
  • Detecting Key Press in SSH Session

    Pynput does not work because there is no X connection (i.e., no display connected to the RPi). The keyboard module also does not work because, based on what I found, since the key inputs are sent through SSH (vs. a keyboard directly connected to the RPi), the keys pressed on my main computer are sent as text, not key presses (see here).

    Did you use a library? It shouldn't need a delay. I used the keyboard module
  • Keyboard over SSH
    2 projects | /r/linuxquestions | 19 Apr 2021
    AFAICT from taking a quick look at the source code of that module (especially this part), it does seem to access the input device nodes directly. If you want to provide input remotely, then that is not that helpful.
  • I am a proficient Python coder whose learning has plateaued. Any really useful libraries I should look into learning? Taking recommendations.

    And here are some libraries that might pique your interest although they don't strictly answer your question: - tqdm for adding a progress bar on for loops (it comes with useful information like iteration per second and estimated time needed to finish) - alive_progress adds a progress bar like tqdm, but it works even with generators and while loops which I don't think tqdm does. -timebudget, with just a decorator as soon as a function is completed it prints the time taken to execute it - send2trash for sending files to the trash bin instead of permanently deleting them - keyboard for sending keyboard inputs or check if a key is pressed - mouse same as keyboard but with mouse buttons - textract for extracting text from many types of file with a single interface. It supports documents, powerpoint presentations, csv, excels, images, gifs, audio, and many more

    Yep, but that doesn't stop the library from throwing an exception if you're not running as root.
