This guide outlines the steps needed to set up and run the provided Python script on a macOS environment. The script uses pynput
to handle keyboard shortcuts and a custom module named Browsing
to perform web interactions.
Before proceeding with the setup, make sure you have Python installed on your machine. You can download and install Python from python.org.
-
Clone the Repository: Begin by cloning the repository to your local machine, or download the ZIP file and extract it.
-
Install Required Packages: Install the required Python libraries listed in the
requirements.txt
file. You can do this using the following command:pip install -r requirements.txt
-
Grant Accessibility Permissions: The
pynput
library needs accessibility permissions to control the keyboard on macOS:- Open
System Preferences
. - Navigate to
Security & Privacy
. - Go to the
Privacy
tab. - Select
Accessibility
from the list on the left. - Click the lock icon at the bottom left to make changes (you may need to enter your password).
- Click the
+
button and add your Python executable (you can find your Python path by runningwhich python3
in the terminal). - Also add your Terminal application to grant it permissions.
- Open
Once the script is running, it will listen for the specific hotkey combination (Command+Shift+F
). When this hotkey is activated, it will perform the programmed actions, such as analyzing content on a webpage and interacting with it.
- Ensure your web browser is open and accessible as the script attempts to interact with it.
- You may need to adjust the script depending on your web browser and its settings.
If you encounter issues with the script, make sure all permissions are correctly set, and the required modules are installed. Check the Python console output for any error messages that can help in diagnosing the problem.
