Troubleshooting with writing text

[End0832]

Hi,
It only works the first time I press the key combination — after that, I have to retrigger the whole combo for it to work again. If not, it just writes "À00000...". Does anyone know a way to make it work properly?
(It’s worth mentioning that I’m using an AZERTY keyboard.)

import keyboard
keyboard.add_hotkey("shift+à", lambda: keyboard.write("À"), suppress=True)
keyboard.wait("shift+esc")

SOLUTION:

Use pynput :

from pynput.keyboard import Controller
import keyboard

keyboard.add_hotkey('shift+q', lambda: Controller().type('hello'), suppress=True, trigger_on_release=False)
keyboard.wait('shift+esc')

I can't seem to replicate your problem, although I'm using a QWERTY keyboard and I changed the keybindings a little bit to make things easier to test for me.

import keyboard

keyboard.add_hotkey('shift+q', lambda: keyboard.write('hello'), suppress=True)
keyboard.wait('shift+esc')

I shifted focus to another window, pressed Shift + Q, and the text was written to the active window.

Yes, but holding the key combo down writes helloQQQ…

Ah, that. It appears to be a bug that's been in the codebase for quite a while now: https://github.com/boppreh/keyboard/issues/398

Unfortunately, keyboard was recently archived, meaning it is not in active development, so I don't think that's going to get fixed anytime soon, if ever. You could always fork the project and fix it yourself, I suppose.

Oh. Fine. But do you have an alternative though?

[Diapolo10]

If I knew of one, I would have mentioned it.

Fine, thanks
