  • keyboard/volume_down
  • keyboard/volume_mute
  • keyboard/media_play_pause
  • keyboard/media_next_track
  • keyboard/media_prev_track

Dependencies

You may need to install platform-specific dependencies for PyUserInput in order to use the keyboard component. In most cases this can be done by running:

pip3 install [package name]

Windows

x64 Windows users may have trouble installing pywin through pip. Using an executable installer should work around this issue.

Similar installers (unofficial) for pyhook have been ported to Python 3.4 and should help with x64 pip issues with pyhook.
