PTY Byte Capture

The orchestrator routed you here. Use these mechanics to execute your plan.

Capture the exact bytes a real terminal emits for a given keystroke. Use this when the question is "what sequence does terminal X send for key Y?" rather than "does the UI look right?"

Platform support

Platform Status Read
Linux / Wayland Implemented platforms/linux.md
Windows (KVM) Implemented platforms/windows.md
macOS (QEMU) Implemented platforms/macos.md

Read the platform file for your target OS. Each contains the capture architecture, prerequisites, usage pattern, and platform-specific notes.

Known dead ends

  • Xvfb + xdotool: bypasses real keyboard processing entirely
