NAME

fish_key_reader − explore what characters keyboard keys send

SYNOPSIS

fish_key_reader [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

fish_key_reader is used to explain how you would bind a certain key sequence. By default, it prints the bind command for one key sequence read interactively over standard input.

The following options are available:
−c or −−continuous

Begins a session where multiple key sequences can be inspected. By default the program exits after capturing a single key sequence.

−h or −−help

Displays help about using this command.

−V or −−verbose

Explain what sequence was received in addition to the decoded key.

−v or −−version

Displays the current fish version and then exits.

USAGE NOTES

fish_key_reader intentionally disables handling of many signals. To terminate fish_key_reader in −−continuous mode do:

	•		press ctrl−c twice, or
	•		press ctrl−d twice, or
	•		type exit, or
	•		type quit

EXAMPLE

> fish_key_reader

# press up−arrow
