CapsLockMorseCode

A silly module to control the keyboard LEDs of the CapsLock, NumLock, and ScrollLock keys to flash Morse Code on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Installation

To install with pip on macOS or Linux, run:

python3 -m pip install capslockmorsecode

To install with pip on Windows, run:

py -m pip install capslockmorsecode

Quickstart Guide

You can pass a string to morse() to flash morse code with the CapsLock key. The string can either be text or morse code written with . for dots, - for dashes, / for intercharacter spacing, and a space character for word spacing:

>>> import capslockmorsecode as mc
>>> mc.morse('sos')
>>> mc.morse('.../---/...')

You can also flash individual dots and dashes with dot() and dash():

>>> import capslockmorsecode as mc
>>> mc.dot()
>>> mc.dash()

You can directly control the CapsLock and NumLock LEDs by passing True (on) or False (off) to caps_lock(), or just call caps_lock() to get the current state of it:

>>> import capslockmorsecode as mc
>>> mc.caps_lock(True)  # Turn on caps lock.
>>> mc.caps_lock()
True
>>> mc.caps_lock(False) # Turn off caps lock.

Same for NumLock/ScrollLock with the num_lock() and scroll_lock() functions:

>>> import capslockmorsecode as mc
>>> mc.num_lock(True)  # Turn on num lock.
>>> mc.num_lock()
True
>>> mc.num_lock(False) # Turn off num lock.
>>> mc.scroll_lock(True)  # Turn on scroll lock.
>>> mc.scroll_lock()
True
>>> mc.scroll_lock(False) # Turn off scroll lock.
