Description unxed 2024-03-20 09:15:39 UTC 
[fixterms and kitty's enhanced keyboard protocol](https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=435975) are not the only existing enhanced keyboard protocols supported by terminals. There also exist the other one, called win32-input-mode.

Protocol spec:
https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/blob/main/doc/specs/%234999%20-%20Improved%20keyboard%20handling%20in%20Conpty.md

Reference implementation on the terminal side:
https://github.com/wez/wezterm/issues/1509

Reference implementation on the console app side:
https://github.com/elfmz/far2l/pull/1581

Reference implementation on the TUI framework side:
https://github.com/magiblot/tvision/commit/5c017a81ef82876a27532a5676e653f035346b49

[This small lib](https://github.com/unxed/xkb2win/) should help with translating X11 key codes to win32-input-mode ones.
