There is a library called mouse. It has a function called mouse.hook(callback). I'm trying to use this function to input mouse actions into a program where it otherwise wouldn't work. It has documentation explaining what it does, but I'm not quite sure what I need to do with said function.

Quote:Installs a global listener on all available mouses, invoking callback each time it is moved, a key status changes or the wheel is spun. A mouse event is passed as argument, with type either mouse.ButtonEvent, mouse.WheelEvent or mouse.MoveEvent.

Returns the given callback for easier development.

Any ideas how I can integrate this function into my code so that the mouse does X upon keypress?

import mouse
import keyboard

while True:
    if keyboard.is_pressed(']'):
        mouse.hook(mouse.move(10, 0, False, duration=0.01))

Mouse.hook() is for receiving callback events from the mouse. mouse.move() is for creating synthetic mouse events. If you want to move the cursor, you don't need the hook.

Maybe try something like:

while True:
    if keyboard.is_pressed(']'):
        mouse.move(10, 0, False, duration=0.01)
