[Python] How to break while loop while outside of the terminal

I'm trying to program a macro for BTD6 using Python with pydirectinput and pyautogui. I'm having problems when trying to implement a way to break out of a while loop while outside the terminal. If you have a solution please let me know. Here is the source code:

import pyautogui
import pydirectinput
import keyboard
import time

print("""

print("\nTo Begin, Get to the BTD6 Home screen.")

dart_monkey = "q"
boomerang_monkey = "w"
bomb_shooter = "e"
tack_shooter = "r"
ice_monkey = "t"
glue_gunner = "y"
sniper_monkey = "z"
submarine_monkey = "x"
buccaneer_monkey = "c"
ace_monkey = "v"
helicopter_monkey = "b"
mortar_monkey = "n"
dartling_gunner = "m"
wizard_monkey = "a"
super_monkey = "s"
ninja_monkey = "d"
alchemist = "f"
druid = "g"
mermonkey = "o"
banana_farm = "h"
spike_factory = "j"
monkey_village = "k"
engineer_monkey = "l"
beast_handler = "i"
hero = "u"

def click(position, clicks=1):
pyautogui.moveTo(position, duration=0.2)
time.sleep(0.2)
pyautogui.click(clicks=clicks, interval=0.2)

def summon_tower(monkey, position):
pydirectinput.press(monkey)
time.sleep(0.2)
pyautogui.moveTo(position, duration=0.2)
time.sleep(0.2)
pyautogui.click()

def upgrade_tower(position, upgrades):

pyautogui.moveTo(position, duration=0.2)
time.sleep(0.2)
pyautogui.click()
pydirectinput.press(",", presses=upgrades[0], interval=0.2)
pydirectinput.press(".", presses=upgrades[1], interval=0.2)
pydirectinput.press("/", presses=upgrades[2], interval=0.2)


print("Press the spacebar to begin")
keyboard.wait("space")
time.sleep(1)

#This is the while loop I want to break out of with a key press.
while True:

click((825, 925))
click((1350, 950))
click((1400, 550))
click((630, 400))
click((1300, 450))
time.sleep()
click((965, 750))
summon_tower(monkey_village, (1582, 673))
upgrade_tower((1582, 673), [2, 0, 2])
summon_tower(sniper_monkey, (1527, 595))
upgrade_tower((1527, 595), [0, 2, 4])
summon_tower(alchemist, (1603, 592))
upgrade_tower((1603, 592), [4, 2, 0])
click((1830, 1000), 2)
time.sleep(300)
click((960, 900))
click((725, 850))


Here is what I have tried so far:

while True:
if keyboard.is_pressed("a"):
break


This would work in most cases, but my program makes use of multiple time.sleep(duration). Because of this, the program will almost never pick up the keypresses to quit.

I have also tried:

try:
while True:
do_somthing()
time.sleep(10)

except KeyboardInterrupt:
pass


This works, but not in the desired way. The while loop will break when Crtl+C is pressed even with the time.sleep() running but only when you are in the terminal. Outside of the terminal Crtl+C does nothing to stop it.
