title: Python continue from input with the space key
body: <p>I'm making a typing speed test game and trying to make it so that when a user is typing into a python input(), it can be submitted by them pressing space rather than just enter, on Windows.
  My code is similar to the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>score = 0
  start_time = int(time.time())
  characters = 0
  words = 0
  current_word = random.choice(WORDS)
  next_word = random.choice(WORDS)
  while (int(time.time()) - start_time) &lt;= TIME_LIMIT:
      os.system('cls')
      print(f"Your word is {current_word}")
      print(f"The next word will be {next_word}")
      print(f"Your current score is {score}")
      attempt = input("&gt; ")
      if attempt.lower() == current_word.lower():
          score = score + 1
          words = words + 1
          characters = characters + len(current_word)
      current_word = next_word
      next_word = random.choice(WORDS)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there any way for this to work or is it best to maybe create my own input function?</p>
