Does not work over ssh

[cheater]

I wanted to try kbt to debug some issues with recognizing keyboard combinations over ssh, but the program requires an X server running.

Consider using an input method that does not require X, only what the terminal gives it.

I understand if it's far outside what you want to do with this program.

Terminal can only capture a subset of all available keystrokes. So it boils down to not being outside this program, but not enough.

hmm what keystrokes cannot be captured via the terminal? out of curiosity.

Most of the modifiers, like shift for example, does not send any signal to the terminal if pressed alone. Even seemingly trivial things like backspace are hacked in. I would have been very glad to have this working with terminal keystrokes only, believe me :D
