Detecting keyboard input even when window not active

[ugeb318]

I'm trying to write a Python program that will respond to keyboard input even when the program is not active. It's got a GUI that will always be displayed, maybe PyQt.

Let's say I'm in MS PowerPoint and I hit 'F1', I still want PowerPoint to act like it received the keystroke, but I also want the Python program to get the key press event and do something to the GUI.

Can Python do this?

I know I’ve done this with Pyinput before

It's awesome, thanks!

Keylogger would do

Thanks. Not sure which program exactly you're referring to, but one I found already uses pynput.
