I was running into some weirdness while running the input example where pressing
Backspace
on my keyboard resulted in^?
being printed. After doing some digging, I found that the value inkey.cr
is0o047
which is truly the ASCII control code for backspace and I can getBackspace
to print in the example withCtrl + H
on my keyboard.After further reading, I realized the terminal is getting the ASCII control code for delete (
0o117
) when I pressBackspace
on my keyboard. This is common on modern systems as noted here. Since there is already aDelete
inkey.cr
(the "del" key on the keyboard), I addedErase
since some keyboards have that label on the backspace key.You can see the control codes and their corresponding values here
