PTY Byte Capture

The orchestrator routed you here. Use these mechanics to execute your plan.

Capture the exact bytes a real terminal emits for a given keystroke. Use this when the question is "what sequence does terminal X send for key Y?" rather than "does the UI look right?"

Platform support

Platform	Status	Read
Linux / Wayland	Implemented	platforms/linux.md
Windows (KVM)	Implemented	platforms/windows.md
macOS (QEMU)	Implemented	platforms/macos.md

Read the platform file for your target OS. Each contains the capture architecture, prerequisites, usage pattern, and platform-specific notes.

Known dead ends

Xvfb + xdotool: bypasses real keyboard processing entirely
uinput + Xvfb: Xvfb does not consume kernel input devices
SSH PTY for keystroke injection: distorts the input encoding; SSH is only for output capture or deployment
