KeyType enum

Types of keyboard input events.

Used to categorize parsed key events into semantic categories.

Extended Keys

This enum supports function keys F1-F63, media keys, lock keys, and modifier-only keys from the Kitty keyboard protocol.

Example:

switch (key.type) {
  case KeyType.f21:
    // Handle F21
    break;
  case KeyType.mediaPlay:
    // Handle media play
    break;
  // ...
}
