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 se- quence. -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 terminate 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' COPYRIGHT fish-shell developers 4.0 Nov 01, 2025 FISH_KEY_READER(1)
