HotKeys Detector

Is a library that allows you to handle for hotkey events on Linux.

Example

First step is import library:

import hotkeys
import time

The next step is writing the handle function:

def handle_function(event,parameter):
    print(event)
    if(event.name=='SPACE'):
        parameter['running']=False

This is dictionary which i droped into function with flags in init HotKeysDetector:

parameters={'running':True}

Init HotKeysDetector with drop parameters into handle function:

hotkeysdetector=hotkeys.HotKeysDetector(parameters=True)

Add hotkeys:

• "CONTROL_L+F12" - Hotkeys string
• handle_function - Handle function (yeah, c.o)
• parameters - Hmmm...Parameters (c.o)

hotkeysdetector.addhotkeys("CONTROL_L+F12",handle_function,parameters)
hotkeysdetector.addhotkeys("SPACE",handle_function,parameters)

Start deamon:

hotkeysdetector.start()

Wait while not pressed space and handle function not set 'running':

while parameters['running']:
    time.sleep(0.1)

Close all thread:

hotkeysdetector.cancel()
