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
