Keyboard

Keyboard sends keys to the currently focused window.

Usage

from dolphin_desktop import Keyboard

Keyboard.press("^s")          # Ctrl+S
Keyboard.press("{ENTER}")     # Enter
Keyboard.type("Hello World")  # plain text
Keyboard.type("100% (net)")   # metacharacters typed literally
Keyboard.type("%F", escape=False)  # opt out: send Alt+F as a key sequence
Keyboard.hotkey("ctrl", "c")  # Ctrl+C
Keyboard.hotkey("win", "e")   # Win+E

Keyboard.type() types literal text — + ^ % ~ ( ) { } are escaped for you. Pass escape=False when the argument is a pywinauto key sequence rather than text to type.

Keyboard.hotkey() accepts the modifiers ctrl, shift, alt and win, followed by a single character or a key name (enter, f4, delete).

Key Notation

Keyboard.press() uses pywinauto send_keys notation.
