Implementations

impl AsciiControlCodes

pub const Bell: u8 = 7u8

(BEL) Plays a terminal bell or beep.

Ctrl + G, or '\a'.

pub const Backspace: u8 = 8u8

(BS) Moves the cursor backwards by one unit/character, but does not remove it. Note that this is different than the typical behavior of the “Backspace” key on a keyboard.

Ctrl + H, or '\b'.

pub const Tab: u8 = 9u8

(HT) Inserts a horizontal tab.

Ctrl + I, or '\t'.

pub const LineFeed: u8 = 10u8

(LF) Moves the cursor to the next line, i.e., Line feed, or new line / newline.

Ctrl + J, or '\n'.

pub const VerticalTab: u8 = 11u8

(VT) Inserts a vertical tab.

Ctrl + K, or '\v'.

pub const PageBreak: u8 = 12u8

(FF) Inserts a page break (form feed) to move the cursor/prompt to the beginning of a new page (screen).

Ctrl + L, or '\f'.

pub const CarriageReturn: u8 = 13u8

(CR) Moves the cursor to the beginning of the line, i.e., carriage return.

Ctrl + M, or '\r'.

pub const Escape: u8 = 27u8

(ESC) The escape character.

ESC, or '\e'.

pub const BackwardsDelete: u8 = 127u8

(DEL) Backwards-deletes the character before (to the left of) the cursor. This is equivalent to what the Backspace key on a keyboard typically does.

DEL.
