Screenkey

How does this software work?

Asked by robbie

I've wanted to write a program that would visually display a representation of the keyboard and show the keymappings available given the current modifiers. how do you subscribe to keypress data without interrupting it?

Hi Robbie,
When I started to write Screenkey I had the same dilema but I resolved this using some of the key-mon project code.
Basically there are 2 files called devices.py and evdev.py that capture keyboard events, running on a thread in the ListenKbd class.
You can see more details in the code https://code.launchpad.net/screenkey to see how it works, after all this is the essence of free software :)

Saludos!
