⚠️ Caveats
- no Windows and MacOS support (Apparently
evdevonly works on Linux... 😔, might need to use some other backend likepynputin the future) - needs a local keyboard connected so doesn't work as expected on remote machines (e.g. via SSH)
- Make sure you have permissions to access the
/dev/input/event*files (this normally means you need to add yourself to theinputgroup)
