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:

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
