Since Java as the underlying system for SikuliX does not offer solutions
for that, it is not supported currently (if we talk about SikuliX
sitting in the background observing for keypresses that are targeted to
running apps or the system).

Limited solutions are possible with SikuliX's hotkey feature.

To add a library supporting that feature is with low priority on the list for version 2
(hot candidate: https://github.com/kwhat/jnativehook)

Title:
  [request] SikuliX should be able to detect keypresses and mouse usage
  globally

Status in Sikuli:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  There's a lot of documentation on pressing keys.  I'd like to know how
  to detect when a user _presses_ a key so the script behavior can
  change.

  As it stands: I have to stop the script.  Change some variables.
  Restart the script.

  It would be great if I could: Start a script.  Hold a key.  Behavior
  of script changes on the fly because it detected I held down a certain
  key.

  Is there a way to do this with Sikuli?  If not; perhaps detecting
  user-pressed key events would be great (something akin to observe or
  an actionListener for when a user presses a key).
