reports as!
if shift is pressed). This givesget_typed_strings
more precision. - [Windows] New key suppression system should fix most bugs with
suppress=True
. - [Linux] Added
.device
attribute to events. - [All] Many, many bugfixes.
- [Windows] Used explicit WinDLL to fix "expected CFunctionType instance instead of CFunctionType".

- [All] Fixed canonicalization removing too much space (thanks @iliazeus).
- [All] Added
start_recording
andstop_recording
for more flexible macros (thanks @softuser25 for the suggestion). - [All] Added
read_hotkey
function. - [All] Added
get_hotkey_name
function. - [All] Cleaned up
examples
folder and added more examples.
- [Mac] Added aliases for modifiers (control->ctrl, option->alt, command->windows).
- [All] Add reference to mouse project.
- [All] Use WinDLL for mouse part instead of raw ctypes.windll.user32.
- [All] Fix PyPI readme (pypa/setuptools#1126).
- [All] Remove bdist from release (PEP 527).

- [Windows] Fixed error on fractional
mouse.wheel()
(thanks @bobonthenet!). - [Windows] Fixed name for arrow keys` virtual key codes.
- [Windows] Make backend easier to use in other projects (e.g.
_winkeyboard.prepare_intercept
). - [Linux] Fixed mouse support in Mint VirtualBox guest (thanks @foodforarabbit!).
- [All] Added mouse alias
hold = press
(thanks @DanMossa!). - [All] Added
mouse.drag
. - [All] Added examples on how to use the library.
- [All] Update docs to mention how to differentiate key presses and releases (thanks @TrakJohnson!).
- [All] Change the default value of
add_abbreviation(..., match_suffix)
.
- [Windows] Fix bug when listening to alt-gr.
- [All] Add
trigger_on_release
parameter toadd_hotkey
. - [All] Make
wait
andread_key
interruptible by ctrl+c. - [All] Small fixes on code/name mapping.
Thanks glitchassassin and BladeMight for the pull requests.
- [Windows] Fixed some incorrect key names (e.g. enter as '\r', and left keys reported as 'right ...')
- [Python2]
long
scan codes no longer crash thematches
function. - [All] add
read_key
function, which blocks and returns the next event. - [All] Added makefile.
- [All] Fixed Python2 compatbility.
- [All] Updated release process to always run both Python2 and Python3 tests before publishing.
- [Windows] Add
suppress
parameter to hotkeys to block the combination from being sent to other programs. - [Windows] Better key mapping for common keys (now using Virtual Key Codes when possible).
- [Windows] Normalize numpad and key code names.
- [Linux] Errors about requiring sudo are now thrown in the main thread, making them catchable.
- [All]
wheel
method in mouse module.
- [Windows] Include scan codes in generated events, instead of only Virtual Key Codes. This allows software like Citrix to receive the events correctly.
- [Windows] Fix bugs that prevented keys without associated Virtual Key Codes from beign processed.
- Allow sending of keypad events on both Windows and Linux.
- Fixed bug where key sending was failing on Linux notebooks.
- [Windows] Fixed a bug where the
windows
key name failed to map to a scan code.
- [Windows] Modifier keys now report 'left' or 'right' on their names.
- [Windows] Keypad attribute should be much more accurate even with NumLock.
- [Windows] Media keys are now fully supported for both report and playback.
- [Windows] Add aliases to correct page down/page up names.
- [Windows] Fixed a bug where left and right key events were being created without names.
- [Windows] Prefer to report home/page up/page down/end keys as such instead of their keypad names.
- Distinguish events from numeric pad keys (
event.is_keypad
). - [Linux] Annotate event with device id (
event.device
).
- [Linux] Create fake keyboard with uinput if none is available.
- [Linux] Avoid errors when an unknown key is pressed.
- Streamline release process
-

add_abbreviation
andregister_word_listener
functions. -

100% test coverage.
-
[Linux] Add support for writing arbitrary Unicode.
-
[Linux] Look for Linux keyboard devices in /proc/bus/input/devices.
