How to make python play a mouse events recording only WHILE left key is pressed?

Question

I'm new to python and I'm trying to learn how to use the mouse and keyboard modules. I am trying to write some code that plays a recording while I'm holding left click, I think the issue is that this may be only part of the recording depending on how long I hold it. This is what I have so far but it isn't playing the recording.

import mouse
import keyboard


events = []                 #This is the list where all the events will be stored
mouse.hook(events.append)   #starting the recording
keyboard.wait("a")          #Waiting for 'a' to be pressed
mouse.unhook(events.append) #Stopping the recording


def onleftclick():
    while mouse.is_pressed(button='left') == True:
        mouse.play(events)


mouse.on_click(onleftclick)
keyboard.wait('esc')

Answer 1

Use a keystroke to play back the recording. The recording won't play if you're using the mouse.

Try this code. Press a to play back the recording:

import mouse
import keyboard

events = []                 #This is the list where all the events will be stored

mouse.hook(events.append)   #starting the recording
keyboard.wait("a")          #Waiting for 'a' to be pressed
print('playback...')
mouse.unhook(events.append) #Stopping the recording
mouse.play(events)

keyboard.wait('esc')
print('bye')

Answer 2

you could do:

import keyboard
while True:
    #lets just say that you want to detect q and left key pressed
    if keyboard.is_pressed('left') and keyboard.is_pressed('q'):
        print('left key and q pressed')
