The provided code uses the keyboard
library in Python to monitor keyboard input and execute a function when a key is pressed. Here's a detailed breakdown of what the code does:
-
Import the
keyboard
library: Thekeyboard
module allows you to listen to and control keyboard events globally (not restricted to the current application). -
Define a callback function
on_key_press
:def on_key_press(event): print(f"Key '{event.name}' pressed")
- This function takes an
event
argument, which is an object that contains information about the keyboard event. - When a key is pressed, the name of the key (e.g., "a", "enter", "space") is retrieved with
event.name
, and the function prints the messageKey '<key_name>' pressed
.
- This function takes an
-
Set up the key press event listener:
keyboard.on_press(on_key_press)
- The
keyboard.on_press
method registers theon_key_press
function to be executed whenever any key is pressed.
- The
-
Wait for any keyboard activity:
keyboard.wait()
- This keeps the program running indefinitely, waiting for keyboard events.
Output Behavior
When you run this script:
- Any key press will trigger the
on_key_press
function. - For every key you press, it prints the key name to the console in this format:
Key '<name>' pressed
For example:
- If you press the "a" key, the program will print:
Key 'a' pressed
- If you press the "space" key, it will output:
Key 'space' pressed
.
Note about the random text at the end (hejs ush fjh dso f
):
The text you provided at the end of the code is not Python and will cause a syntax error if included directly. If you typed that text while running the script, it would trigger the key press handler and print the corresponding key names for each character.
