<p>The <code class="highlighter-rouge">keyboard</code> component simulates key presses on the host machine. It currently offers the following Buttons as a Service (BaaS):</p>
<ul>
<li><code class="highlighter-rouge">keyboard/volume_up</code></li>
<li><code class="highlighter-rouge">keyboard/volume_down</code></li>
<li><code class="highlighter-rouge">keyboard/volume_mute</code></li>
<li><code class="highlighter-rouge">keyboard/media_play_pause</code></li>
<li><code class="highlighter-rouge">keyboard/media_next_track</code></li>
<li><code class="highlighter-rouge">keyboard/media_prev_track</code></li>
</ul>
<p>To load this component, add the following lines to your <code class="highlighter-rouge">configuration.yaml</code>:</p>
<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="s">keyboard</span><span class="pi">:</span>
</code></pre>
</div>
<h2><a class="title-link" name="dependencies" href="#dependencies"></a> Dependencies</h2>
<p>You may need to install platform-specific <a href="https://github.com/PyUserInput/PyUserInput#dependencies">dependencies for PyUserInput</a> in order to use the keyboard component. In most cases this can be done by running:</p>
<div class="language-bash highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="gp">$ </span>pip3 install <span class="o">[</span>package name]
</code></pre>
</div>
<h4><a class="title-link" name="windows" href="#windows"></a> Windows</h4>
<p>x64 Windows users may have trouble installing pywin through pip. Using an <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/pywin32/">executable installer</a> should work around this issue.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pyhook">Similar installers</a> (unofficial) for pyhook have been ported to python 3.4 and should help with x64 pip issues with pyhook.</p>
