check out the docs here https://github.com/boppreh/keyboard

You can install the keyboard library, then do keyboard.wait('enter').

LOL, here you go

I'm trying to create an autoclicker using the pyautogui library. I want to create a fail safe for the user to break out of the auto clicker in case the cursor is not able to be moved and the user can't stop the program. I'm using the keyboard library to implement a hotkey to stop the auto clicker from running, but I'm not getting the intended behavior. The click() function is only executed once and the program quits. I'm on a Arch Linux, and gave the program root privileges as mentioned in the readme of keyboard

As an example here is how the keyboard module does it: https://github.com/boppreh/keyboard/blob/master/keyboard/_winmouse.py

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.

And according to this issue, there's no support for key suppression in the Linux version of keyboard.

You can write python code that reads the data the scanner is sending, but it's not super simple getting up to speed on this. It might be best to search on python read usb hid device and start experimenting. The links found on the search lead to pyusb which has a tutorial. The first stumbling block is that the tutorial requires data about the device, such as idVendor and idProduct. You can write python code to find these values for your scanner if you don't know them, but you'll have to search on that.
