NAME
    "Term::TermKey::Async" - terminal key input using "libtermkey" with
    "IO::Async"

SYNOPSIS
     use Term::TermKey::Async qw( FORMAT_VIM KEYMOD_CTRL );
     use IO::Async::Loop;
 
     my $loop = IO::Async::Loop->new();
 
     my $tka = Term::TermKey::Async->new(
        term => \*STDIN,

        on_key => sub {
           my ( $self, $key ) = @_;
 
           print "Got key: ".$self->format_key( $key, FORMAT_VIM )."\n";
 
           $loop->loop_stop if $key->type_is_unicode and
                               $key->utf8 eq "C" and
                               $key->modifiers & KEYMOD_CTRL;
        },
     );
 
     $loop->add( $tka );
 
     $loop->loop_forever;

DESCRIPTION
    This class implements an asynchronous perl wrapper around the
    "libtermkey" library, which provides an abstract way to read keypress
    events in terminal-based programs. It yields structures that describe
    keys, rather than simply returning raw bytes as read from the TTY
    device.

    This class is a subclass of "IO::Async::Handle", allowing it to be put
    in an "IO::Async::Loop" object and used alongside other objects in an
    "IO::Async" program. It internally uses an instance of Term::TermKey to
    access the underlying C library. For details on general operation,
    including the representation of keypress events as objects, see the
    documentation on that class.

    Proxy methods exist for normal accessors of "Term::TermKey", and the
    usual behaviour of the "getkey" or other methods is instead replaced by
    the "on_key" event.

EVENTS
    The following events are invoked, either using subclass methods or CODE
    references in parameters:

  on_key $key
    Invoked when a key press is received from the terminal. The $key
    parameter will contain an instance of "Term::TermKey::Key" representing
    the keypress event.

CONSTRUCTOR
  $tka = Term::TermKey::Async->new( %args )
    This function returns a new instance of a "Term::TermKey::Async" object.
    It takes the following named arguments:

    term => IO or INT
            Optional. File handle or POSIX file descriptor number for the
            file handle to use as the connection to the terminal. If not
            supplied "STDIN" will be used.

PARAMETERS
    The following named parameters may be passed to "new" or "configure":

    flags => INT
            "libtermkey" flags to pass to constructor or "set_flags".

    on_key => CODE
            CODE reference for the "on_key" event.

METHODS
  $tk = $tka->termkey
    Returns the "Term::TermKey" object being used to access the "libtermkey"
    library. Normally should not be required; the proxy methods should be
    used instead. See below.

  $flags = $tka->get_flags
  $tka->set_flags( $flags )
  $msec = $tka->get_waittime
  $tka->set_waittime( $msec )
  $str = $tka->get_keyname( $sym )
  $sym = $tka->keyname2sym( $keyname )
  ( $ev, $button, $line, $col ) = $tka->interpret_mouse( $key )
  $str = $tka->format_key( $key, $format )
  $key = $tka->parse_key( $str, $format )
  $key = $tka->parse_key_at_pos( $str, $format )
  $cmp = $tka->keycmp( $key1, $key2 )
    These methods all proxy to the "Term::TermKey" object, and allow
    transparent use of the "Term::TermKey::Async" object as if it was a
    subclass. Their arguments, behaviour and return value are therefore
    those provided by that class. For more detail, see the Term::TermKey
    documentation.
