Remap shortcuts my combinin pyautogui and pynput

I am trying to remap a shortcut combining pynput and pyautogui, but I am getting the error

in execute with keyboard.pressed(Key.shift): AttributeError: module 'pynput.keyboard' has no attribute 'pressed' 

from pynput import keyboard
import pyautogui

# The key combination to check
COMBINATIONS = [
    {keyboard.Key.ctrl, keyboard.KeyCode(char='z')},
    {keyboard.Key.ctrl, keyboard.KeyCode(char='x')}
]

# The currently active modifiers
current = set()

def execute():
    pyautogui.typewrite('Hello world!\n', interval=secs_between_keys)
    #pyautogui.hotkey('cmd', 'v')

def on_press(key):
    if any([key in COMBO for COMBO in COMBINATIONS]):
        current.add(key)
        if any(all(k in current for k in COMBO) for COMBO in COMBINATIONS):
            execute()

def on_release(key):
    if any([key in COMBO for COMBO in COMBINATIONS]):
        current.remove(key)

with keyboard.Listener(on_press=on_press, on_release=on_release) as listener:
    listener.join()

I am a total beginner and cannot figure out why I am not able to use pyautogui functions here. Would you kindly enlighten me? many many thanks!

Here's a complete and tested example using pynput:

from pynput import keyboard

# The key combination to check
COMBINATIONS = [
    {keyboard.Key.ctrl_l, keyboard.KeyCode(char='z')},
    {keyboard.Key.ctrl_r, keyboard.KeyCode(char='z')},    
    {keyboard.Key.ctrl_l, keyboard.KeyCode(char='x')},    
    {keyboard.Key.ctrl_r, keyboard.KeyCode(char='x')}
]

# The currently active modifiers
current = set()

def execute():
    print("Here I am")

def on_press(key):
    if any([key in COMBO for COMBO in COMBINATIONS]):
        current.add(key)
        if any(all(k in current for k in COMBO) for COMBO in COMBINATIONS):
            execute()

def on_release(key):
    if any([key in COMBO for COMBO in COMBINATIONS]):
        current.remove(key)

with keyboard.Listener(on_press=on_press, on_release=on_release) as listener:
    listener.join()

The main problem seems to me related to use specific key combinations (e.g. Control + C) that are used by OS or other applications.

You want press which takes the key argument, instead of pressed.

From the docs:-

Controller.press(key)
Presses a key.

A key may be either a string of length 1, one of the Key members or a KeyCode.
