keyslide 0.7

Encrypt text by shifting keys on the QWERTY keyboard.

Keyslide

Description

Keyslide is a Python package offering a playful approach to text encryption and decryption—think Caesar cipher, but mapped to the physical QWERTY keyboard! Shift letters left or right across keyboard rows, either programmatically or via command line. Useful for simple obfuscation, puzzles, or just for fun.

Usage

Python API

from keyslide import encrypt, decrypt

text = "Hello, World!"
key = 2  # Shift right by 2 keys

cipher = encrypt(text, key)
print(cipher)  # Encrypted text

plain = decrypt(cipher, key)
print(plain)   # Should print: Hello, World!

Command Line

Encrypt:

keyslide.encrypt "Hello, World!" 1

Output:
Jr;;p. Ept;f@

Decrypt:

keyslide.decrypt "Jr;;p. Ept;f@" 1

Output:
Hello, World!

Notes:

• Negative keys shift left: keyslide.encrypt "Hello, World!" -1
• Unknown characters (not on QWERTY) are unchanged.

Features

• 🔤 Keyboard-based encryption: Shift letters based on their QWERTY row positions.
• 🛠️ Easy API: Use encrypt() and decrypt() in your Python code.
• 💻 CLI ready: Quick command-line access with keyslide.encrypt and keyslide.decrypt.
• ➡️ Customizable key: Shift any number of steps, positive (right) or negative (left).
