I was running into some weirdness while running the input example where pressing
Backspaceon my keyboard resulted in^?being printed. After doing some digging, I found that the value inkey.cris0o047which is truly the ASCII control code for backspace and I can getBackspaceto print in the example withCtrl + Hon my keyboard.After further reading, I realized the terminal is getting the ASCII control code for delete (
0o117) when I pressBackspaceon my keyboard. This is common on modern systems as noted here. Since there is already aDeleteinkey.cr(the "del" key on the keyboard), I addedErasesince some keyboards have that label on the backspace key.You can see the control codes and their corresponding values here
