Numpad KeyCode detection not working since updating to 1.7.1

[emerysteele]

Since updating to 1.7.1, my script no longer detects key combinations with numpad keys. :(

Seems to only affect keys that are detected using the vk KeyCode parameter.

Here is some sample code

import threading
from pynput import keyboard
import time

mode = "Debug"

#Debug Code
def debug(text):
    if mode == "Debug":
        print(text)

debug("---------------------")

#Keyboard Shortcut Combinations
COMBINATIONS = [
    {keyboard.Key.alt_l, keyboard.KeyCode(vk=102)}, #NumPad 6
    {keyboard.Key.alt_l, keyboard.KeyCode(char='6')}, #NumRow 6
]

# The currently active modifiers
current = set()

def execute():
    if keyboard.KeyCode(vk=102) in current and keyboard.Key.alt_l in current:
        debug("Pressed AltL + NumPad6") #Never gets triggered
    if keyboard.KeyCode(char='6') in current and keyboard.Key.alt_l in current:
        debug("Pressed AltL + NumRow6") #Gets triggered normally

def on_press(key):
    if any([key in COMBO for COMBO in COMBINATIONS]):
        current.add(key)
        debug(current)
        if any(all(k in current for k in COMBO) for COMBO in COMBINATIONS):
            execute()

def on_release(key):
    if any([key in COMBO for COMBO in COMBINATIONS]):
        try:
            current.remove(key)
        except KeyError:
            pass

def keyboardLoop():
    debug("Keyboard Loop Started")
    with keyboard.Listener(on_press=on_press, on_release=on_release) as listener:
        listener.join()

thread1 = threading.Thread(target=keyboardLoop)
thread1.start()

time.sleep(2)

Verified this code works normally if I downgrade pynput to 1.6.8

I have the same problem for the combinaison with numpad keys

I have the same problem with the key <255>, so it is confirmed for any keycode, works with 1.6.8

Thank you for your reports.

On what platform is this? It appears that you are trying to implement hot keys; have you tested the global hot key helper included with this library?

[TheConfax]

I'm on Windows 10, Python 3.9.0

I tried very briefly the hotkey helper, but my hotkey is unusual: ctrl left + ctrl right, and it didn't work (or maybe I gave up too soon) That other method worked under Pynput 1.6.8

[TheConfax]

I want to note that the other "combination" method doesn't work for me for combinations that include chatacters (eg: including keyboard.KeyCode.from_char('k') in the dictionary) but only for strange combinations such as ctrl left + ctrl right, while hotkey helper works fine for usual hotkeys.
