Why can't I use keyboard module?
I wanted to make some hotkeys. so I found out about keyboard and it's useful feature that detects keypress which I really wanted.
Then I tried importing it, first it took A LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG TIME to load!
And then it said an error message
Hi! Can you please show us the error?
The problem with the keyboard module is always a never-solved problem with Repl. Seriously, try it on your local machine is a much better choice.
that can help me detect a key-press?
it shows me this error..."

What language? (I'm not very skilled don't judge)
Getch comes up with an error when I try to import it, it may also not be compatible.
You need root to use the keyboard module... and that's a thing you can't do on repl.it. You can't be root.
I don't think replit supports it, I would look into getch
Oh, well, because it is python, you might want to use the
getchmodule or maybe as Wumi4 said, usepynput?
