ESL receives input from the keyboard just as if the characters were being received from a local or remote application. Thus, the following statements work with the keyboard in exactly the same way as they do with an application:
Statement |
Description |
response to line |
Response statement for a line of input. |
response to char |
Response statement for any character(s). |
make string disposition |
Action statement to hold, drop, or immediately handle character input. |
input |
Built-in function containing the received characters. |
Matching Special Characters from the Keyboard
In a match clause in a response to char or response to line response statement, ESL can match special characters and key combinations.
