Pyautogui stop on keypress

Using pyautogui to stop on keypress in Python

The pyautogui library can be used to control the mouse and keyboard to automate tasks in Python. To stop the script on keypress, you can utilize the keyboard module along with pyautogui.

Example:

Here’s an example that demonstrates how to use pyautogui and keyboard modules to stop a script when a specific key is pressed:

<!-- HTML code here -->

Python code:

<script type="text/python">
import pyautogui
import keyboard

def stop_on_keypress():
    while True:
        if keyboard.is_pressed('q'):  # Replace 'q' with your desired key
            break  # Stop the loop
        else:
            # Your code here
            pass

stop_on_keypress()
</script>

In the above example, we define a function called stop_on_keypress() that continuously checks if the specified key (in this case, ‘q’) is pressed using the keyboard.is_pressed() function. If the key is pressed, the break statement is executed, which stops the loop and ends the script. Otherwise, you can add your own code inside the else block for the desired functionality.

Remember to install the required modules (pyautogui and keyboard) via pip before running the code. You can install them using the following commands:

With this implementation, the script will keep running until the specified key is pressed, allowing you to control when the script should stop.
