The script can be installed with pip:

pip install windows_hotkey_checker

and only uses python standard library modules, so no additional dependencies.

Usage

Usage is simple. Just run the script with python:

> python -m windows_hotkey_checker

There is also a Script installed in the Scripts directory of the python with the short name of "hotkeys" that you can run from the command line as:

  > hotkeys
