System.Console.Terminfo.Keys

The string capabilities in this module are the character sequences corresponding to user input such as arrow keys and function keys.

The keypad

The following commands turn the keypad on/off (smkx and rmkx). They have no effect if those capabilities are not defined. For portability between terminals, the keypad should be explicitly turned on before accepting user key input.

keypadOn :: TermStr s => Capability s

keypadOff :: TermStr s => Capability s

Arrow keys

keyUp :: Capability String

keyDown :: Capability String

keyLeft :: Capability String

keyRight :: Capability String

Miscellaneous

Look up the control sequence for a given function sequence. For example, functionKey 12 retrieves the kf12 capability.

keyBackspace :: Capability String

keyDeleteChar :: Capability String

keyHome :: Capability String

keyEnd :: Capability String

keyPageUp :: Capability String

keyPageDown :: Capability String

keyEnter :: Capability String
