Any way to wait for a key
ch3rn1k opened this issue · comments
Hey ya, any way to add a function like to wait for a key press?
Smth like waitKey, waitClick, waitMove, waitScroll
Dat will be awesome <3
if you mean pressing a key outside of keysender - it's not possible, winapi doesn't have methods for that

I mean to make a wait function, you already have GlobalHotkey that detects key press
Like await obj.keyboard.waitKey("a");
in 2.1.0 the LowLevelHook class was added with which this logic can be implemented

Nice one, thanks, but is there a way to use async/await with LowLevelHook.on()?
Like await LowLevelHook.on('keyboard', 'a', true)
no, it works like addEventListener in browser
well, still awesome lib, hope you will implement async/await later
but you can write something like whis
const waitForKey = (device, button, state) =>
new Promise((resolve) => {
const unlisten = LowLevelHook.on(device, button, state, () => {
unlisten();
resolve();
});
});but you can write something like whis
const waitForKey = (device, button, state) => new Promise((resolve) => { const unlisten = LowLevelHook.on(device, button, state, () => { unlisten(); resolve(); }); });
Looks like after unlistening next time .on ain't works
thats what unlisten do
thats what unlisten do
I mean another call in new function with waitForKey ain't works. I can only 1 single time call waitForKey in a code. Until i reload my script .on will not call again. It's not reusable :(
If we talking about addEventListener it can be added and removed. In another function I can call addEventListener again and it will work
After calling LowLevelHook.deleteAll(); it can be called again
should be fixed in 2.1.1

Is there a way to listen keys combination?
["ctrl", "e"]
no, but you can do it by yourself
