on_press and on_release not executing if one is placed after another

Hi, I’m using on_press and on_release to store any currently pressed keys. Unfortunately, if on_press is placed before on_release, on_release is not being executed. If I switch places of on_press with on_release, then on_press is not being executed. Because of it, I’m using hook as a workaround, in which I’m checking event_type and calling proper function.

pressed_keys = []

def add_key(key):
    pressed_keys.append(key)
    return

def remove_key(key):
    pressed_keys.remove(key)
    return

keyboard.on_press(add_key)
keyboard.on_release(remove_key)    #This is not being executed

Also I have one question: Is there a simpler way of checking in on_press_key if other keys are also currently pressed? modifiers is always empty.

Hello,

I was trying to do the same exact thing with on_press and on_release. It looks like the bug was introduced in a recent update (pip version 0.13.1). I downgraded to version 0.11.0 and that got rid of the bug.

To install version 0.11.0 I used the command: pip install keyboard==0.11.0

Hope this helps!

        keyboard.on_release(trigger_event,suppress=False) 

        PASTE_WORD = "@@pst"
        keyboard.add_word_listener(PASTE_WORD, word_paste ,timeout=1)

        LOGIN_WORD = "@@cit"
        keyboard.add_word_listener(LOGIN_WORD, word_login ,timeout=1)

        LOGINPASS_WORD = "@@citp"
        keyboard.add_word_listener(LOGINPASS_WORD, word_loginpass ,timeout=1)

word_listener not getting activated if keyboard.on_release is uncommented System: Windows 8.1

Fixed it by placing the on_release() after all the word_listener()
