PyHotkey

A hotkey combination listener that outputs text after keypress combo listener is activated.

Installation

This was created under the assumption of python version 3.11

To install PyHotkey, run the following command:

pip install pyhotkey

To activate the PyHotkey hotkey combination listener, use:

pyhotkey

Run . ./use-venv.sh to switch to python3.11 using python and activate/create the virtual environment.

Activate and deactivate the hotkey combination listener using a PyHotkey modifier key.
Define your custom hotkey combinations and their corresponding actions in combos.json.

Edit combos.json to define your hotkey combinations and the text that should be output when each combination is activated.

Example:

{
  "ctrl+alt+a": "Text for ctrl+alt+a",
  "ctrl+alt+b": "Text for ctrl+alt+b"
}

To run tests, run the following command:

python -m unittest tests.py
