With this simple code I want to capture keyboard events for some keys and do specific actions without printing a symbol.

import keyboard

special_keys = [ 'a', 'b', 'c' ]

def on_press(event):
    if not event.name.lower() in special_keys:
        # Work normal.
        keyboard.press(event.name)
        return False
    # Do other actions instead of printing the symbol.
    print('Special key pressed.')

keyboard.on_press(callback=on_press, suppress=True)
keyboard.wait(hotkey='esc', suppress=True)

Why some keys don't work normally, for example shift and control key and how to fix it? Windows 10, Python 3.7, keyboard 0.13.5

    What do you mean with shift and control key don't work normally? They are not catched if you add in list? – Carlo Zanocco Sep 25 '20 at 16:50
  • I can't write some capital letters: Q, P, M with shift pressed. Also selecting a text in notepad with combination of shift and arrow keys is impossible. It looks like the problem occurs only with combination of two or more keys, e.g. Shift + something or Ctrl + something. – Paweł Grygorczuk Sep 25 '20 at 17:26
