EDIT: The solution is to use key.name

So assuming I use the example code:

PHP Code


<?php 
from pynput.keyboard import Key, Listener

def on_press(key):
    print('{0} pressed'.format(
        key))

def on_release(key):
    print('{0} release'.format(
        key))
    if key == Key.esc:
        # Stop listener
        return False

# Collect events until released
with Listener(
        on_press=on_press,
        on_release=on_release) as listener:
    listener.join() 


When you press CTRL + C and release it, the release function outputs:
'\x03' Which I believe is ascii for ctrl^c, which I could handle with a simple dictionary I believe.

The issue is the keypress function gets this character: 
Which I can do nothing with...

Anyone got any ideas on what I can do?

EDIT: The documentation shows "Controller.modifiers" but not much on how it's used.

I really hope this isn't a stupid question, I'm completely lost.

What I did when I created my keylogger was figure out what ascii code was printed when that combination was used, so I don't know how reliable it is, but it looked similar to this:
if key.char == "":
string += "[CTRL-C]"
This doesn't work for some combinations like CTRL-Z, but it does for CTRL-C and V

EDIT: The ascii code isn't showing up but it is meant to be that icon for \x03

Yes, that'd work with the keyrelease function, but it doesn't work with the keydown function... because the results are sometimes the same.

Thank you though for the input 👍
