Relevant section taken from `src/bin/main.rs`:
```rust
fn key_to_char(key: Key) -> Option<KeyChar> {
match key {
Key::Char('\n') => Some(KeyChar::Press('𐘂')),
Key::Char(c) => Some(KeyChar::Press(c)),
Key::Alt(c) => Some(KeyChar::Alt(c)),
Key::Ctrl(c) => Some(KeyChar::Ctrl(c)),
Key::Backspace => Some(KeyChar::Press('𐘁')),
Key::Esc => Some(KeyChar::Press('𐘃')),
Key::Up => Some(KeyChar::Press('𐙘')),
Key::Down => Some(KeyChar::Press('𐘞')),
Key::Left => Some(KeyChar::Press('𐙣')),
Key::Right => Some(KeyChar::Press('𐙥')),
_ => None,
}
}
```
The special keys backspace, enter, escape, and the arrows, are represented by a single Linear A char. For ease, there are [methods](https://docs.rs/ming-wm-lib/latest/ming_wm_lib/messages/struct.KeyPress.html) to check whether a key press is a backspace, enter, etc, without pasting the Linear A into the code.
Although the arrow keys are supported, please try and support the Vim `hjkl` if possible!
The `Press` events are sent as `WindowMessage::KeyPress(KeyPress)`, and the `Ctrl` events are sent as `WindowMessage::CtrlKeyPress(KeyPress)`. Any keys pressed along with the Alt key are not passed to the windows.
