FISH_KEY_READER(1)		   fish-shell		      FISH_KEY_READER(1)

NAME
     fish_key_reader - explore what characters keyboard keys send

SYNOPSIS
     fish_key_reader [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION
     fish_key_reader  is  used	to  explain how you would bind a certain key se-
     quence. By default, it prints the bind command for one  key  sequence  read
     interactively over standard input.

     The following options are available:

     -c or --continuous
	    Begins  a  session where multiple key sequences can be inspected. By
	    default the program exits after capturing a single key sequence.

     -h or --help
	    Displays help about using this command.

     -V or --verbose
	    Explain what sequence was received in addition to the decoded key.

     -v or --version
	    Displays the current fish version and then exits.

USAGE NOTES
     fish_key_reader intentionally disables handling of many signals. To  termi-
     nate fish_key_reader in --continuous mode do:

     * press ctrl-c twice, or

     * press ctrl-d twice, or

     * type exit, or

     * type quit

EXAMPLE
	> fish_key_reader
	Press a key:
	# press up-arrow
	bind up 'do something'
