Overview

keyprobe is a tiny raw-stdin key inspector. It puts the terminal in raw mode and prints the EXACT bytes your terminal sends for each key, so we can see what (for example) Shift+Enter actually transmits in your environment instead of guessing. It walks you through the keys one at a time so each byte sequence is unambiguously labeled. Run it, follow the prompts, paste the output back:

go run ./tools/keyprobe            # default terminal behavior
go run ./tools/keyprobe -enhance   # with kitty + modifyOtherKeys enabled

Press Ctrl+C at any prompt to abort.
