Actually it looks like you might not need the dict if you just take input and run hex(ord(input))
or even just ord(input)
It seems as though the "pressAndHold" function simply presses on my system: when in a loop everything seems to work fine
Such an incredible resource, thank you so much!
This is awesome ! I am using this beautiful piece of code to control my Mclaren in NFS using the arduino ( hooked up to a accelerometer ). Thankyou very much .
hi, this is really nice..
one quick question: I have made a script to automatically login to windows when it is locked. I add the script to scheduled tasked,when the desktop is locked ,the script will run, the action is typing my password. as I can see, the cursor is in the password box. but nothing typed there. I wonder where does the script typed the password.. do I need to set the cursor?

dictionary contains duplicate entry: '`':0xC0
Very useful, thank you.
Thanks... It is very useful...
Oh guys, you can just use VkKeyScan from Windows API!
Look here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43753346/how-to-get-virtual-key-code-of-a-key/50100057#50100057
Thanks !
after last updating windows no longer works
Thanks bro you saved me from writing all the VK_CODES

I just wanted to say that this is a great resource. The dict in particular was a real time-saver. However, I'm having trouble using the same means as you for holding down keys. Does this call to keybd_event with three zeros only work on certain versions of Windows? I'm having trouble finding documentation on win32api. I've gotten a similar example for shift to work that used different syntax. The script I'm writing is a rather specific situation: A user may use a toggle key to alternate holding down a target key.
