Problem with keyboard.read_key() in Python - Stack Overflow

Question about the read_key() method from the keyboard module .
FYI you can use code blocks to make your code more readable and preserve formatting. This will help you get more responses: import keyboard recording = True keys = [] while recording: keys.append(keyboard.read_key()) if keyboard.read_key() == "esc": recording = False print(keys) From the documentation it seems you can use keys = keyboard.record(until='esc')so maybe use that instead? It's often better to use the library's own functions because the author will have thought of issues like repeated key presses so you don't have to, though of course sometimes you have to hack things together yourself.

r/learnpython on Reddit: Question about the read_key() method from the keyboard module .
January 18, 2022 -
Im trying to read my keyboard input with the read_key() method. If i type slowly it will detect every key press. However, if i type fast then i will get multiples of the same key and completely miss other keys. Is this because the read_key() function cant keep up?
This program is still in its early stages but here is the code.
Import keyboard
recording = True keys = []
while recording: keys.append(keyboard.read_key()) if keyboard.read_key() == “esc”: recording = False
print(keys)
Edit: formatted with indents for the while loop and if statements. Just does not show indents when posted.
