Is there a way to convert QtCore.Qt.Key to a string

I’m capturing keyboard events for a remote desktop application by overriding the keyPressEvent() function like this:

def keyPressEvent(self, event):
    key = event.key()
    if key > 9999999999:
        print('key code too long')
        return
    self.io_soc.send(f'key {key}'.encode()

I want to simulate the keyboard event on the other computer, but the problem is that the I need to convert the key code that event.key() gives to a string because pyautogui.press() takes a string as an argument.

I didn’t find any way to get the key as a string or convert it. Please provide me with a way to do this conversion, or a way to solve this problem

>Solution :

Ok, try this:

from PyQt5.QtCore import Qt

# Dictionary mapping Qt key codes to pyautogui string representations
KEY_MAP = {
    Qt.Key_Backspace: 'backspace',
    Qt.Key_Tab: 'tab',
    # Add mappings for other keys you need to support
    Qt.Key_Return: 'enter',
    Qt.Key_Enter: 'enter',
    Qt.Key_Escape: 'esc',
    Qt.Key_Space: 'space',
    Qt.Key_End: 'end',
    Qt.Key_Home: 'home',
    Qt.Key_Left: 'left',
    Qt.Key_Up: 'up',
    Qt.Key_Right: 'right',
    Qt.Key_Down: 'down',
    Qt.Key_Delete: 'delete',
    # ... and so on for other non-character keys
}

class RemoteDesktopWidget(QWidget):
    # ... other methods ...

    def keyPressEvent(self, event):
        key = event.key()
        if key > 9999999999:
            print('key code too long')
            return

        # Check if key is a known special key
        if key in KEY_MAP:
            key_str = KEY_MAP[key]
        else:
            # Convert to a string representation for character keys
            key_str = event.text()
        
        self.io_soc.send(f'key {key_str}'.encode())
