FISH_KEY_READER(1)

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
