I need to pause the program until the user presses a key, and then it should return whatever key was pressed. Most places I look show one of two solutions: # This doesn't work with what I need for obvious reasons return input("Enter key here >>> ") # but sometimes they'll use something like this: import keyboard while True: event = keyboard.read_event() if event.event_type == keyboard.KEY_DOWN: return event.name But the second example, while it does only return the key when it's first pressed down as expected, there's an issue with this approach, in that if I put a regular input after using this bit of code (key = input("Enter key here >>> ")), the key that's pressed gets typed in to the input. How would I only return the key when it's first pressed down (not held), and also use up that key press (not have the key press do anything else)? Continue reading...
