TERMKEY_STRFKEY(3) Library Functions Manual TERMKEY_STRFKEY(3) NAME termkey_strfkey - format a string representing a key event SYNOPSIS #include <termkey.h> size_t termkey_strfkey(TermKey *tk, char *buffer, size_t len, TermKeyKey *key, TermKeyFormat format); Link with -ltermkey. DESCRIPTION termkey_strfkey() formats a string buffer to contain a human-readable representation of a key event. It fills the buffer in a way analogous to the snprintf(3) or strftime(3) standard library functions. This function used to be called termkey_snprint_key() but was renamed after version 0.6. The format argument specifies the format of the output, as a bitmask of the following constants: TERMKEY_FORMAT_LONGMOD Print full modifier names e.g. "Shift-" instead of abbreviating to "S-". TERMKEY_FORMAT_CARETCTRL If the only modifier is TERMKEY_MOD_CTRL on a plain letter, ren- der it as "^X" rather than "Ctrl-X". TERMKEY_FORMAT_ALTISMETA Use the name "Meta" or the letter "M" instead of "Alt" or "A". TERMKEY_FORMAT_WRAPBRACKET If the key event is a special key instead of unmodified Unicode, wrap it in "<brackets>". TERMKEY_FORMAT_SPACEMOD Use spaces instead of hyphens to separate the modifier name(s) from the base key name. TERMKEY_FORMAT_LOWERMOD Use lowercase for the modifier name. TERMKEY_FORMAT_LOWERSPACE Use lowercase with spaces in for the key name instead of camel- Case (for example "page down" instead of "PageDown"). TERMKEY_FORMAT_MOUSE_POS If the event is a mouse event, include the position rendered as "@ (col,line)". The following shortcuts are provided for common combinations of format bits: TERMKEY_FORMAT_VIM Shortcut to set ALTISMETA and WRAPBRACKET, to give an output close to the format the vim editor uses. TERMKEY_FORMAT_URWID Shortcut to set ALTISMETA, LONGMOD, LOWERMOD, SPACEMOD and LOW- ERSPACE, to give an output close to the format the urwid python library uses. When formatting a TERMKEY_TYPE_UNICODE key structure, this function uses the utf8 member. If this member contains an empty string (i.e. its first character is 0) then this member will be prefilled by the func- tion from the code.number member. This can be convenient when the key structure is being constructed programmatically by user code. RETURN VALUE termkey_strfkey() returns the number of characters written to buffer.
