Re: [slang-users] Reconstructing the last key sequence

[Thomas Schultz <tststs@xxxxxx>]

Hi!

First of all, thank you for the instant and helpful reply to my last
e-mail. Now I know the key sequence that triggered the function, but in
case it is an escape sequence, I'd like to convert it to a more
human-friendly format before displaying it. I'd also like to allow users
to use strings like "<Up>" and "<Down>" in the keybinding section of the
config files instead of forcing them to look up the exact escape sequences
for the respective keys.

To me, this mapping sounds like a good job for the I/O library. Can this
be done with s-lang or do I have to handle those conversions on the
application level? In slang.h, I saw constants for SL_KEY_UP etc. - the
manual says that they can be used with SLkp_getkey, but is there any
chance of using them with keymaps as well?

Kind regards
    Thomas Schultz
