ADB sendevent - press multiple keys at the same time, control the duration of each event!

Take a look at the video to see what the code below does:

# Characters will be sent as lower case. Using this method, you cannot send upper case letters.

)

# Execute the keystrokes By the way: if nosleep is True, add_to_sleep_time will be ignored

Tested against Windows 10 / Python 3.9.13 / BlueStacks 5

It should also work with any rooted Android device, but

since my cell phone is not rooted, and I have no intention of rooting it,

I cannot test the module against a physical Android device.

(I would be grateful for any feedback)
