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
