Python bindings to libqxt's QxtGlobalShortcut
Project description
Overview
pygs provides cross-platform global hotkey / shortcuts for python using PyQt.
pygs is a wrapper for libqxt’s QxtGlobalShortcut.
My aim is to provide cross-platform support for global hotkeys (shortcuts) in python. Ideally I would like to remove the PyQt and libqxt dependency but that remains a (distant) future goal. I believe it is definitely possible and potentially quite useful though.
This fork support PyQt4 / PyQt5 on Python 2.x / 3.x.
Installation
Requirements
Minimal for working:
For building from source:
None of them could be installed automatic, please download and install them manually. If you install them from a package manager, please also install development packages (if exist)
Install from Source Code
pip install PyGlobalShortcut
or
setup.py install
Install from Binary Package
WARNING: Binary package probably only work with corresponding PyQt binary package.
Binary package can be found at release page, please download an unzip it.
The file name of binary packages contains name of corresponding PyQt binary package (behind ‘-for-‘), if that package does not exist or your PyQt is not installed from official binary package, please install pygs from source code.
There is a Wheel in it, install it by:
pip install <filepath.whl>
Again, binary package probably only work with corresponding PyQt binary package, please use it carefully.
Usage
See examples/simple.py
python simple.py
NOTE: Ctrl maps to COMMAND on macs!!!! Yeah this is crazy confusing. But it’s Qt not me :)
