How to capture keyboard events?

[bjrmatos]

Hello, It is possible to receive the key that was pressed when typing? something like onkeypress event in the browser.

My use case would be implement a keylogger :)

Unfortunately this is not possibly with RobotJS currently, RobotJS is for sending events!

This would also allow to build a tool for expanding text snippets, which currently e.g. autokey can do.

Is a event/keyboard capturing planned for later or is it out of the scope of this project?

See #55, I don't think I want to include this in RobotJS but I am interested in developing it since Node.js is missing a good solution.

Alright, sorry, I have somehow overseen that discussion. More modules makes sense to me. Good luck with it :)

No worries! At least you found this one. :p

Thanks!

We have established robotjs is for sending events, does anyone know a library that can capture keypresses easily?
