I have a python script that runs on python3.4 and uses the package keyboard
to allow for keybinds;
keyboard.add_hotkey("enter", self.listener.stop, suppress=True)
keyboard.add_hotkey("shift+enter", self.listener.finish, suppress=True)
When I run this on Windows, it works perfectly listening to both hotkeys, also when run on linux (CentOS) it works.
At work I've gotten a Ubuntu environment on my windows via the windows 10 feature and app store. However this environment has a problem with this keyboard hotkey.
