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

PlatformStatusRead
Linux / WaylandImplementedplatforms/linux.md
Windows (KVM)Implementedplatforms/windows.md
macOS (QEMU)Implementedplatforms/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
  • uinput + Xvfb: Xvfb does not consume kernel input devices
  • SSH PTY for keystroke injection: distorts the input encoding; SSH is only for output capture or deployment

Follow-on

Feed captured bytes into terminal compatibility fixtures and replay tests in
