Hello All!

I want to make a simple program running in the background which when detects a certain hotkey being pressed, it terminates the currently focused window. I found 2 packages to do this and I thought I was able to do so with a few lines of code but I always get the same error and I can't see why, I believe it has to do something with the hotkey method in line 10.

My code:

import pygetwindow as gw
import keyboard as kb

def closeWindow():
    focused = gw.getActiveWindow()
    title = focused.title()
    focused.close()
    print(title + " was closed")

kb.add_hotkey('alt+f4', closeWindow)
while True:
    continue

The errors I get all the time the momment i press the hotkey:

Error:

Thank you for the help in advance!
