XEKEYS
A simple program to gather key-presses.
Note:
- None of the mod keys are case sensitive.
- Ctrl does not work on '-', ';', ''', ',', '.', '[' or '+'.
- Super only supports arrow keys as I found no way to support regular keys. Any pull requests on this issue would be appreciated.
- Raw mode is needed for most of the key detection.
Simple example
extern crate xekeys;
use ;
Motivation
When I was using termion, I came to the realization that I was unabled to detect ctrl+arrow keys, something I needed. So I made my own crate; but, to justify using this over termion, I added most of the functionality of termion key presses and some extra, such as more modifiers with arrow keys and function keys up to 20.

Termion Alternative:
I dont want to make a full termion alternative, termion is already great; but, if you want one, I suggest using this for keypresses, raw_tty for raw mode, lliw for styling, and I guess you can do the cursor movement using ANSI escape codes as well as clearing.
