There is no built-in way to tell if a button is being held down. However, there is a button_up handler as well as a button_down handler. If you use timers, you can tell how long a key has been held down. Here is a sample of code that can tell which keys are held down. Multiple keys can be held down at once. If you want to change the timing, you can change the length of the timers at the bottom of the code. Changing the value of timer 1 will change how long the key has to be held before simulating keypresses, changing the length of timer 2 changes how quickly the keys are pressed once held down. You can also see the code here: https://py3.codeskulptor.org/#user303_gtJ15kIGNV_0.py def timer_handler(): #start timer 2 if it is off if not timer_on: timer2.start() #stop timer 1 timer.stop() def timer2_handler(): #simulates repeated keypresses if the key is held down global timer_on timer_on=True if len(held_keys)==0: timer2.stop() timer_on=False else: for item in held_keys: action(item) def action(key): #this is where all the code to make something happen goes if key==upkey: #do something print('up key pressed') elif key==downkey: #do something else print('down key pressed') def key_handler(key): #handles user keypresses #add key to held keys global held_keys held_keys.append(key) #do something with key action(key) #start timer 1 if timer 2 is off if not timer_on: timer.start() def release_handler(key): #handles key releases #remove the key from the list global held_keys if key in held_keys: held_keys.remove(key) #if no keys are held, stop both timers global timer_on if len(held_keys)==0: timer.stop() timer2.stop() timer_on=False import simplegui timer_on=False held_keys=[] #starts timer 2 timer = simplegui.create_timer(300, timer_handler) #automatic keypress timer2 = simplegui.create_timer(100, timer2_handler) #map whatever keys you need spacekey=simplegui.KEY_MAP['space'] leftkey=simplegui.KEY_MAP['left'] rightkey=simplegui.KEY_MAP['right'] upkey=simplegui.KEY_MAP['up'] downkey=simplegui.KEY_MAP['down'] #create a frame and set key down/up handlers frame=simplegui.create_frame('Click the box, then use arrow keys to move', 100, 100) frame.set_keydown_handler(key_handler) frame.set_keyup_handler(release_handler) frame.start()
