Gogo Keyboard

Press keyboard 🦍 Get key 🦍 Unga Bunga

Requirements	Compatibility

Python Asyncio library to simply get keyboard presses and releases. Gogo Keyboard creates a new independent SDL2 window that captures the key events.

pip install gogo_keyboard[dll]
python3 -m gogo_keyboard.example

Motivation:

• Keyboard presses and releases in Asyncio.
• Only when clicking on the Gorilla window.
• Python terminal is free for other tasks.
• Based on asyncio_for_robotics for seamless compatibility with:
  • ROS 2
  • Zenoh
  • More

Installation

This library requires sdl2 and sdl2_image. By specifying the [dll] optional dependency, those will be installed by pip.

pip install gogo_keyboard[dll]

Conda pacakge: soon!
