Simple keyboard program with issues-CodePudding

This program sometimes counts one key press as 2 presses or as 0,5 press. Program:

import keyboard
while True:
    if keyboard.read_key() == 'h':
        print("1")
    elif keyboard.read_key() == 'j':
        print("2")   
    elif keyboard.read_key() == 'k':
       print("3")

I want this program to count 1 key press as one action. I have no clue how to solve this issue.

CodePudding user response：

The keys (events register) are double because you press the "h" key and release the "h" key. The answer is here: keyboard.read_key() records 2 events

try this:

import keyboard
while True:
    event = keyboard.read_event()
    if event.event_type == keyboard.KEY_DOWN and event.name == 'h':
        print('1')
    elif event.event_type == keyboard.KEY_DOWN and event.name == 'j':
        print('2')
    elif event.event_type == keyboard.KEY_DOWN and event.name == 'k':
        print('3')
