    Default How to send cursor keys using QProcess write?

    Hi,

    I have a QProcess running and I am sending key presses to the process using write. like this... myprocess->write("a");
    This works fine.
    How can I send a left or right cursor key using write?
    Or for that matter can any non-printing key be sent using write?

    Thanks.

    Clive

    You can send any byte combination you want. The proper sequence can be found by learning about terminal protocols.
    Your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own. Resistance is futile.

    I am sorry, I seem to have come to the wrong place.
    I expected to get an answer to a question but instead I get a quiz. Seems to be a common theme when someone asks a question on here lately.

    I am 60 years old and wrote my first application on a PET 2000 in 1978.
    I have had a stroke since and my memory has suffered, I don't remember all the stuff I used to know and so I ask a question to perhaps get some help.

    Don't bother answering the question, I will not be back. I will find another way of getting the information I need, it isn't that critical but some information on the correct codes would have helped me.
    There was a time we all used to help each other. Maybe you would like to read about that somewhere.

    I don't have the correct code, this is a Qt forum, not a terminal emulator forum. I can probably google that out for you but then you can do it on your own as well, so I gave you directions what to look for. Considering the fact there are many terminal types available, it is likely I would have picked the wrong combination anyway without knowing any details which you didn't consider important enough to share.
