KBD-TEST(1)

✨ kbd-test(1) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the General Commands Manual (section 1, the iconic one) 💅 this little cutie lives right here in kbd-test and she's about to tell you literally everything your keyboard is saying behind your back.

🎀 NAME 🎀

kbd-test — a CURSES keyboard test utility 🦋

like, that's the whole job. she tests keyboards. with CURSES. no cap.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

kbd-test

that's it. no flags, no arguments, no drama. just vibes and keystrokes ✨

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so here's the tea 🍓 — kbd-test prints out the values reported by the keyboard input function from the CURSES library. you press a key, she tells you what the keyboard said the key was. it's giving translation layer. it's giving "what did you actually mean by that, bestie". 👑

IMPORTANT, FR FR: press ctrl-C twice in a row to quit. two. in a row. not once. don't come at me when one ctrl-C doesn't do it, that's literally the documented behaviour 😭

🫶 and that's the whole page 🫶

no OPTIONS, no ENVIRONMENT, no FILES, no EXIT STATUS, no SEE ALSO — she's a minimal queen and honestly? we respect it. sometimes the whole personality is "I print key values and I leave." 💀✨

kbd-test(1), from the General Commands Manual — that's the source and the version vibe right there, section 1, no date stamp on this one. bye bestie, go press some keys 💖🎀🦋
