kbdtest is a simple Python program that tests keyboard input
using an interactive, terminal-based, visual keyboard display.
It was originally developed for testing DIY keyboard PCBs prior to final
assembly.
Keyboard input is collected using pynput and the TUI uses
ncurses. This program was inspired by the utilities
here. Currently, this program has not been
tested for Windows users.
After installation, run the program using kbdtest.
Test keys individually or several at a time. Shift-q quits
the program and returns to the terminal. If, for some reason,
the program ends without the curses backend calling endwin(),
you can fix your terminal prompt by running reset in your terminal.
