parse-key
Parses strings into key objects of the same format as the ones emitted by nodejs readline.
Counter part to stringify-key.
Installation
npm i parse-key
Usage
var parse = require('parse-key');
parse('ctrl-c') // returns { name: 'c', ctrl: true, meta: false, shift: false, alt: false, sequence: '\u0003' }
parse('shift-ctrl-c') // returns { name: 'c', ctrl: true, meta: false, shift: true, alt: false, sequence: '\u0003' }
parse('alt-c') // returns { name: 'c', ctrl: false, meta: false, shift: false, alt: true, sequence: 'c' }
Caveats
For completeness' sake, the alt
modifier is parsed and included with the returned key
although the nodejs readline does not
include it in its key
object nor does it have any effect when the key is emitted.
