Keyboard controlled stopwatch with no window focus required
This is a keyboard controlled stopwatch that runs in your terminal and
works without window focus. Downside to the window focus thing—you need
to run this as root. But compromises, right?
Anyway, this is good for ad-hoc speedrunning. Enjoy!
Run directly from source with
sudo ./run_kbstopwatch.py
or install with pip with
pip3 install kb-stopwatch
and run with
sudo kb-stopwatch
To start the stopwatch, press the control key, which you can set with
kb-stopwatch --control-key 'keyname'
(defaults to 'space'). Hit the control key again to stop the timer.
Repeat.
