how can i use autopy to press a character on the keyboard?

Question

"I want to press the 'C' key and the control button to copy something, but I don't know how to write it. I tried this code, 'autopy.key.toggle(autopy.key.Code.C, True),' and also this code, 'autopy.key.toggle(autopy.key.Code.CONTROL, True),' and I also tried the ASCII code of the character."

Answer 1

It looks like you're on the right track, but the issue might be in the order of key presses and releases. You can use autopy.key.toggle for both key presses and releases. Here's an example code snippet to press the 'C' key along with the control button:

import autopy

**# Press and hold the control key**
autopy.key.toggle(autopy.key.Code.CONTROL, True)

**# Press the 'C' key**
autopy.key.toggle(autopy.key.Code.C, True)

**# Release the 'C' key**
autopy.key.toggle(autopy.key.Code.C, False)

**# Release the control key**
autopy.key.toggle(autopy.key.Code.CONTROL, False)

This code first presses and holds the control key, then presses the 'C' key, releases the 'C' key, and finally releases the control key. This should simulate the key combination for copying.

Note: The autopy.key.toggle function is used for holding keys, and the autopy.key.tap function is used for tapping a key without holding it.
