Capture the activation of a hotkey while other keys are being pressed

Here's some semi-pseudocode that worked for me.
Basically adding all currently pressed keys to a set on key_down event and removing it from the set on key_up.
Then check if your keybind is among the pressed keys.

keybind = set() # I converted the keybind I want to block to a set of scan codes
pressed_keys = set()

def on_key_event(event):
    if event.event_type == "down":
        pressed_keys.add(event.scan_code) # add key to active keys
    elif event.event_type == "up":
        pressed_keys.discard(event.scan_code) # remove key from active keys
        return True

    # block our hotkey regardless of any additional keys
    if keybind.issubset(pressed_keys): # if keybind is among pressed keys
        print("keybind blocked")
        return False

    return True

keyboard.hook(on_key_event, suppress=True)
