Using other keys for the waitKey() function of opencv

You can use ord() function in Python for that.

For example, if you want to trigger ‘a’ key press, do as follows :

if cv2.waitKey(33) == ord('a'):
   print "pressed a"

See a sample code here: Drawing Histogram

UPDATE :

To find the key value for any key is to print the key value using a simple script as follows :

import cv2
img = cv2.imread('sof.jpg') # load a dummy image
while(1):
    cv2.imshow('img',img)
    k = cv2.waitKey(33)
    if k==27:    # Esc key to stop
        break
    elif k==-1:  # normally -1 returned,so don't print it
        continue
    else:
        print k # else print its value

With this code, I got following values :

Upkey : 2490368
DownKey : 2621440
LeftKey : 2424832
RightKey: 2555904
Space : 32
Delete : 3014656
