Detect if key was pressed once

Question

I wanted to do an action, as soon as my f key is pressed. The problem is that it spams the action.

import win32api

while True:
    f_keystate = win32         


        

Answer 1

Because in the while loop, when the f key is pressed, GetAsyncKeyState will detect that the f key is always in the pressed state. As a result, the print statement is called repeatedly.

Try the following code, you will get the result you want:

import win32api

while True:
    keystate = win32api.GetAsyncKeyState(0x46)&0x0001
    if keystate > 0:
       print('F pressed!')
