📄 Description

What is this Python project?

github.com/boppreh/keyboard:

Take full control of your keyboard with this small Python library. Hook global events, register hotkeys, simulate key presses, and much more.

github.com/boppreh/mouse:

Take full control of your mouse with this small Python library. Hook global events, simulate mouse movement & clicks, and much more.

What's the difference between this Python project and similar ones?

This set of libraries offers much more functionality than those currently listed on awesome-python. They allow for complete management of all global key & mouse events.

Some features:

global hooks
- push all Key/Mouse events to provided callbacks
- keyboard[KeyboardEvent], mouse[ButtonEvent, MoveEvent, WheelEvent]
global hotkey registration
- push only defined Key events to provided callbacks
- left & right modifier keys are recognized separately
input simulation
- key chords, keypress sequences, mouse click/drag/scroll
- allows custom delay
macro recording & playback
- capture keystrokes in realtime, play them back @ custom speed
wait event
- blocks thread until defined Key/Mouse events are received

While not fully cross-platform (OSX is currently listed as experimental), these are the best choices I've come across for anyone looking for full access to keyboard & mouse functionality on the Windows & Linux platforms.

Both libraries are also very well documented.

Anyone who agrees with this pull request could vote for it by adding a 👍 to it, and usually, the maintainer will merge it when votes reach 20.
