I am trying to write a short bash hack that requires piping keystrokes of the F-Keys
basically what I am trying to do is:
(echo "1"; "for x in 1..9; do echo "123<F1>34<F3>"; done; echo "<F1>")|./program
where is the F-key with that #
is this possible? if so can some one point me to the docs, or something
Depending on your terminal, a function-key is just a sequence of characters. You can see what they are with
cat:This is me hitting F1, F2, F3 in sequence. So to echo them into your program, you can just echo those control codes (note the first one there is ctrl–ESC), and you should be all set.
