Hey I'm a beginner in programming. I'm currently trying to make a simple program that can manage your custom made hotkeys around Windows OS.
The program works but It's missing an important function.
The issue: I'm having trouble figuring out how can I make my program work with multiple hotkey combinations so far I was only able to assign a single key for
a specific action.
Would love to hear your ideas/solutions. Thanks

[wide berry]

here we go

ok thats quite long i would think ur error is that u dont make new threads and one hotkey blocks the others

keyboard.hotkey("a+b",funcs)
runs the func function when a and b are pressed

it works like a charm u should use that

it also can handle multiple cobos at once

problem is idk how u delete a mapping after it exists in any other way than restarting the whole code

[wide berry]

at first it was it was reseting when you entered the key cap

now i made it so it stay's

[wide berry]

also why does it matter the mapping doesn't interfere with anything for me

[rocky sparrow]

no i mean in my way that i showd on how to add hotkeys as simple as possible i dont know how to remove one

[wide berry]

Did you get to pen the program?

open*

[rocky sparrow]

yes

[wide berry]

Im not sure im following what will the issue be sorry im not that experienced

[rocky sparrow]

so the way u register hotkeys to work is by saying keyboard.add_hotkey(hotkey,action)

than the hotkeys should work no matter how many there are

also that load_hotkeys wont work u need to eiter readlines or read and than split at \n

[wide berry]

it works

[wide berry]

im trying this now

[rocky sparrow]

wierd u shouldnt be able to iter IO streems

[wide berry]

maybe with your solution won't work you mean?

[rocky sparrow]

if that function works should work in any use

replace the setup_hotkey_listener(self)s
contents with:
for hotkey, command in self.hotkeys: keyboard.add_hotkey(hotkey, command)

u need to pip install the keyboard module and import it

[wide berry]

glows yellow im trying to fix it. Uninstalled and installed it again

[rocky sparrow]

the hotkey is a + sepearated str of chars where Space= Shift=shift ...

[rocky sparrow]

dont have to re install it if its yellow may just mean that the editor didnt recognise it yet

[wide berry]

can this stay? from pynput.keyboard import Key

[rocky sparrow]

Bc the name keyboard is not imported only key is imported from it yes

Also u can do
Import keyboard as kb or idk so it has a different name

[wide berry]

can I do it like this

from pynput import keyboard

[rocky sparrow]

No bc one will over write the other

U can import one of them on a different name with as

Like import keyboard as kb

That imports keyboard but it will actually be under the name kb not keyboard

[wide berry]

ye but it still glow's yellow 🥲

[rocky sparrow]

Also im going to sleep so if im un responsive u know i won't be for a while

[wide berry]

Ok thank you for the help ❤️

[rocky sparrow]

Yello glow is no problem(probably)
Just run it and see if it errors

[wide berry]

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'keyboard'

[rocky sparrow]

U pip installed right?

[wide berry]

yup

should i reinstall?

sometimes works

[rocky sparrow]

Shit u have pip errors im to tierd for this

[wide berry]
