Extremely straightforward question.
Just want to press a keyboard key. Like enter, using pywin auto. I don't want to press it in the context of any application window.
Just a raw keypress of a keyboard key, like a or enter or backspace.

I got this running for my game, and it works on notepad.exe too
from pywinauto import Application
app = Application(backend="win32").connect(path="Mario")
# app.MarioClass.minimize() # if you want to minimized
app.MarioClass.send_keystrokes('Hi {ENTER}')

I had to change the include to get the code working:
from pywinauto.keyboard import send_keys, KeySequenceError
send_keys('some text{ENTER 2}some more textt{BACKSPACE}', with_spaces=True)

Just use
# from pywinauto.SendKeysCtypes import SendKeys # old for pywinauto==0.5.x
from pywinauto.keyboard import send_keys
send_keys('some text{ENTER 2}some more textt{BACKSPACE}', with_spaces=True)
Docs: https://pywinauto.readthedocs.io/en/latest/code/pywinauto.keyboard.html
P.S. SendKeysCtypes
was renamed to keyboard
in pywinauto 0.6.0+.
