Pynput doesnt release ctrl after hotkey is activated

[not-nef]

Which results in the function getting executed everytime the key gets pressed without ctrl after the hotkey has been activated once

I have no idea how to fix this

So hotkeys will probably become an experimental feature once the settings window is implemented

Just wondering, why do you use pynput instead of Tkinter bindings?

[not-nef]

@rdbende do they support multiple keys? And if yes pls tell me how i use them

Do they support multiple keys?

Yes! Events and binds are absolutely one of the most powerful features of Tkinter.

For a multi-key binding you can simply use a hypen - as a separator between the keys.
Ctrl+o for example: .bind("<Control-o>", handler)

But the code above wouldn't really work, as you have to bind every single widget in the app to make it global. Instead you can use the bind_all method, which will bind the entire application.
.bind_all("<Control-o>", handler)

However, there's still a more elegant approach. You can use the event_add method to associate a global keyboard event with a global virtual event that you can bind later.

root.event_add("<<Open>>", "<Control-o>")
root.bind("<<Open>>", handler)

Thank you sooooo much!! ❤️

Yeah. Tkinter bindings are super easy to use and make life much easier
