NAME

showkey -- echo raw keystrokes back at you in a printable form  

SYNOPSIS

showkey  

DESCRIPTION

This program puts your terminal in raw mode, eats keystrokes, and prints them back it you in a recognizable printed form (using <>-surrounded ASCII mnemonics for non-printables). This may be useful, for example, if you're not certain what your keyboard keys are sending.
