How to input escape sequences in Linux tty?
More details: Unicode, Framebuffer. I tried to press Esc and then what should follow, letters or brackets, but seems not to work. Probably i do something wrong. If somebody is familiar with escape sequences in the console, how do you do that?
Thanks in advance. |

Is this you are expecting.
ESC (0x1B, ^[) starts an escape sequence; For more details visit the following link console_codes(4) - Linux man page and also refer the man page of console_codes. |

To type the control character in the terminal try the following way.
press ctrl+v and ctrl+k to achieve ^K ( crtl+k) .Like this you can generate any control characters with the combination of crtl+v. |

karthigayan , it seems to be beginnig of the right way. The sequence is shown as beginning with "^[", which means Escape, however, i get the message "command not found". Do i have to write own terminfo or something like that to enable terminal to work with Escape sequences?
abubacker: Linux tty (with framebuffer, if it is of essence), TERM=linux. |
