keylogger - an unoriginal name

This program is a simple keylogger written in Python. It listens to keyboard input and records all pressed keys into separate log files:

• Normal keys: letters, numbers, and standard symbols
• Numpad keys: numbers from the numeric keypad
• Special keys: like Enter, Backspace, Shift, Ctrl, etc.
• Virtual codes: handles keys that are represented by virtual key codes
• The keylogger also features:
• Live console output with timestamps for each key press
• Optional color-coded logging to differentiate between normal, numpad, and special keys
• Automatic log folder creation (logs/)

How it works?

the program listens to keyboard input and saves it to a text file (for me it's kind of obvious). Saves pressed keys into a file in logs/ Special keys saved separately

don't use this for anything wrong (no matter how difficult it is)
