pause loop when capslock is on in python

To pause a loop when the Caps Lock key is on, you can use the keyboard module to check the state of the Caps Lock key and a conditional statement to pause the code execution whenever Caps Lock is on.

Here's an example code snippet that uses a while loop to read keyboard input indefinitely, but pauses the loop and prints a message whenever the Caps Lock key is detected as on:

main.py
import keyboard
import time

while True:
    # check if Caps Lock is on
    if keyboard.is_pressed('caps lock'):
        print("Caps Lock is on. Pausing for 5 seconds.")
        # pause the loop for 5 seconds
        time.sleep(5)
    else:
        # do other stuff here
        pass

In this code snippet, the keyboard.is_pressed('caps lock') function checks if the Caps Lock key is being pressed, and if it is, the time.sleep(5) method pauses the loop for 5 seconds before resuming. If Caps Lock is not pressed, the loop continues to run and execute other code.
