Is CTRL+Number supported as a "hot-key"?

[triddell]

I'm beginning to use tcell by working with the new tview project.

For example, one of their demos uses "tcell.KeyCtrlN" for a CTRL-N hot-key. Do you know if tcell supports something like CTRL-1, CTRL-2, etc? I couldn't find this by looking at the code but I'd like to use this in my application if possible.

Thanks.

So CTRL+ is not supported generically by most terminals (meaning that they don't send anything useful that is distinct from other things). For example, iTerm seems to send other sequences associated with ESC, or just bare numbers, depending on which one you type.

The thing is that the "standards" (such as they are) really have no way to express these.

I suspect we can probably do better for Windows, but my initial tests there are not promising.

I don't recommend using ctrl with digits; you will find that your application will be very limited where those actually do anything (if such a place even exists).

This is a question, and nothing I can do code wise about it. Closing it.

What about Alt+NUMBER?

Sadly no. Maybe on Windows. But definitely not on the other platforms.
