I am trying to fix an implementation of readline for the browser, and it would be nice if I could have the same behaviour that libuv for windows does. I want to know where can I find which keycodes maps to what? For example from https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/HEAD/lib/internal/readline/utils.js#L232 we know that
fkeymap={
f1:'[[A',
f2:'[[B',
f3:'[[C',
f4:'[[D',
f5:'[[E'
}
We can test ourselves this if we run this code in node
var readline = require('readline'),
rl = readline.createInterface(process.stdin, process.stdout);
process.stdin.on('keypress', function(s, key) {
console.log("keypress event",{s,key})
});
but if you start combining ctrl and shift codes, you start getting wild ansi combinations, for example ctrl+shift+f9 maps to "\x1b[33^" is this documented somewhere?
I didn't find this table documented anywhere, but I am going to post the data that I got by experimentally trying all the keys in my keyboard available, hope this helps someone. I prefix the keys with 'c' to mean that control was pressed, and 's' to mean that shift was pressed.
