Open tkossak opened 2 years ago

Hi,

This project seems to be dead and full of bugs. What's the best alternative for linux?

tkossak commented 2 years ago

PyAutoGUI - it can do more than keyboard/mouse automation.

But PyAutoGUI cant read keystrokes, that's what I am looking for.

https://pypi.org/project/pynput/ It can control and monitor mouse and keyboard. It can also send hotkeys.

Thank you, keyboard is ok for me atm, but I will take a look at pynput.

There is a bug in pynput. Hotkeys like f1 does not work.

Thank you for pointing that out. Its disappointing to see that supposedly simple and expected things do not work. Stability and reliability is what we need. Well, on the other hand it is for free, so I can't really complain.

I’d just like to add that none of the others support suppress - granted it’s only a windows thing I’ve spent a longtime with alll of them. IMHO this keyboard library is the best.
