Hi,
I want to detect Unicode characters from keyboard events. I tried the
simple example of your code but the problem is if I change my input
language from EN to another Unicode language like Spanish or Arabic it
still shows the old characters and I need to rerun my script. I tried this
simple code to detect Alt+Shift and reload the module to take effect but no
luck.
import pynput
from importlib import reload
# The key combination to check
COMBINATION = {pynput.keyboard.Key.shift, pynput.keyboard.Key.alt_l}
# The currently active modifiers
current = set()
def on_press(key):
print("current key is: ",key)
if key in COMBINATION:
current.add(key)
if all(k in current for k in COMBINATION):
print('All modifiers active!')
listener.stop()
def on_release(key):
try:
current.remove(key)
except KeyError:
pass
with pynput.keyboard.Listener(on_press=on_press,
on_release=on_release) as listener:
listener.join()
print("Done")
reload(pynput)
import pynput as pynput2
def on_press2(key2):
print("current key2 is: ",key2)
with pynput2.keyboard.Listener(on_press=on_press2) as listener:
listener.join()
Thanks.

I have attempted to reproduce the error. My default keyboard layout is Swedish; for the purpose of troubleshooting, I installed Arabic (Iraq).
I used the following simple test program:
from pynput import keyboard
def on_press(key):
if key == keyboard.Key.esc:
listener.stop()
else:
print(ord(getattr(key, 'char', '0')))
controller = keyboard.Controller()
with keyboard.Listener(
on_press=on_press) as listener:
listener.join()Starting the program with my default keyboard layout, I verified that the characters were registered correctly, and then I switched keyboard layouts. The new layout keys were registered as expected.
Please note that there is one caveat: pynput uses the keyboard layout of the current foreground thread, which is the owner of the active window. If this window belongs to cmd.exe, the layout reported does not correspond to the system layout for some reason. Can you please verify that the issue persists if you select another window?

You are right about that.
I tried to write the output of the program to a text file, If I focus on cmd (console window) it can't detect the current language and always show the old one, but If change my focus window to another like desktop it works fine. Anyway, I don't want the console itself and I want to detect the keystrokes on any window.
Thanks.

@unistudyper If I remember correctly I had a problem with the latest version, try to use older versions and check out the above examples. It should work fine on Unicode chars.
