notcurses-input(1)

NAME

notcurses-input - Read and display input events

SYNOPSIS

notcurses-input [-v] [-m]

DESCRIPTION

notcurses-input reads from stdin and decodes the input to stdout, including synthesized events and mouse events. To exit, generate EOF (usually Ctrl+'d').

Each event will be printed on a single line. Leading that line is a series of modifier indicators:

•   'A'/'a': Alt was or was not pressed.

•   'C'/'c': Ctrl was or was not pressed.

•   'S'/'s': Shift was or was not pressed.

•   'U'/'u': Super was or was not pressed

•   'M'/'m': Meta was or was not pressed.

•   'H'/'h': Hyper was or was not pressed.

•   'X'/'x': CapsLock was or was not pressed.

•   '#'/'.': NumLock was or was not pressed.

•   'L'/'R'/'P'/'u': Key was a release, repeat, press, or of unknown type.

By default, mice events are enabled.

OPTIONS

-v: Increase verbosity. -m: Inhibit mice events.

NOTES

Mouse events are only generated for button presses and releases, and for movement while a button is held down.
