List of deadkeys for current keyboard
To retrieve the list of deadkeys for the current keyboard layout in Python, you can use the pyperclip
and keyboard
libraries. Here's an example:
pythonimport pyperclip
import keyboard
def get_deadkeys():
# Copy the "@" character to the clipboard
pyperclip.copy('@')
# Simulate pressing the "Ctrl" and "V" keys to paste the "@" character
keyboard.press_and_release('ctrl+v')
# Get the clipboard content (should contain the deadkeys)
deadkeys = pyperclip.paste()
return deadkeys
# Get the deadkeys for the current keyboard layout
deadkeys = get_deadkeys()
# Print the deadkeys
print(deadkeys)
In this example, we use the pyperclip
library to copy the "@" character to the clipboard. Then, we simulate pressing the "Ctrl" and "V" keys using the keyboard
library to paste the "@" character. Finally, we retrieve the clipboard content, which should contain the deadkeys for the current keyboard layout.
Note that this method relies on the assumption that deadkeys are applied to the "@" character. Depending on your keyboard layout and operating system, the deadkeys may be applied differently. You may need to adjust the code accordingly to match the specific deadkey behavior of your keyboard layout.
Make sure you have both pyperclip
and keyboard
libraries installed before running the code. You can install them using the following commands:
pip install pyperclip
pip install keyboard
Remember that the deadkeys are specific to the keyboard layout, and the method used here may not work for all layouts or operating systems.
