Global key binding made easy
Requires X11 (X Window System). For UNIX-like systems, e.g. Linux.
Can be used both as a Python package and from CLI.
Features:
- Create some global key bindings to your functions.
- Use them in your GUI or CLI application.
- Bind arbitrary program run to a key using CLI.
from keybind import KeyBinder
def do():
print('done')
# The following will start key listening loop in a thread
# (useful if you don't want to block your main program).
KeyBinder.activate({
'Ctrl-K': do,
'Shift-R': None, # Do not run anything, just intercept.
}, run_thread=True); Listen to Ctrl-K, Ctrl-R and D (keycode 40).
; Provide as many -k as you want.
$ keybind -k "Ctrl-K=ls -lah" -k "Ctrl-R=python run.py somearg --someopt" -k "40=date"
; All keys interception mode. Show keycodes.
; Use wisely, keep your mouse ready.
$ keybind --sniff
