Keyfind
KEYFIND
FUNCTION
KeyFind reports the characters passed to the program by keys on the keyboard.
DESCRIPTION
KeyFind works in screen mode, like the GCG program SeqEd and the EGCG program NewFeatures. It reports the key codes received by the program for each key press.
Keypad keys are translated, if possible, to the internal representations so that the mapping of the keypad can be checked in cases where keys appear to not work as expected in EGCG programs.
The program continues until the user presses "Q" (upper case) to quit from the program.
Output is normally written to the terminal screen, but can optionally be saved to a file which the program prompts for.
