# t3learnkeys(1)

learn key sequences for terminal

## NAME

**t3learnkeys** - learn key sequences for terminal

## SYNOPSIS

**t3learnkeys** \[\<OPTIONS\>\]

## DESCRIPTION

**t3learnkeys** allows easy construction of a database entry for libt3key. It can be used both in automatic mode (for X11 terminals), in which case it generates the key strokes itself, or in manual mode.

## OPTIONS

**t3learnkeys** accepts the following options:

- **-a**, **--auto-learn**

  Generate key strokes automatically. Only supported when running in an X11 terminal emulator and support is compiled in.

- **-A**, **--dont-abort-auto-learn**

  Do not abort on receiving Control-C in auto learn mode.

- **-b** \<**keys**\>, **--block-keys**=\<**keys**\>

  Do not ask for the keys described by **keys**. **keys** is a comma separated list of key descriptions. A key description can be either what is printed on the screen when running **t3learnkeys**, or an identifier as used in the output.

- **-o** \<**output**\>, **--output**=\<**output**\>

  Write the output to \<**output**\>, instead of using the value of the TERM environment variable as output file name.

- **-s**, **--show-only**

  Only show the sequences produced by pressing keys. When using this mode, the **t3learnkeys** program will not write any files. This mode is primarily intended to find out the sequences sent by specific keys, rather than learning an entire set of keys.

## BUGS

If you think you have found a bug, please check that you are using the latest version of **libt3key** \[http://os.ghalkes.nl/libt3key.html\]. When reporting bugs, please include a minimal example that demonstrates the problem.
