eek i only want to input the key code to bash and let bash do all the work
;)

i found this ascii table
https://www.physics.udel.edu/~watson/scen103/ascii.html

Ctrl-U is Hex 15

TrminalView1.Input.("\x15")  Does as expected, deletes line left of cursor

would i need to implement it for all keys?

after research i find a control key is ascii key code And 0x1F

and i find yes Hex(Asc("U") And &1F) is 15

but how do i convert Hex(Asc("U") And &1F) into string "\x15" i can input?

I tried something like this but it failed...
Dim s As String = "\x" & Hex(Asc("U") And &1F)
TerminalView1.Input(s)


But done correctly something like that should work for all the other keys
too right?
