Description

getkpl(escape = "escape", fn = list(), echo = FALSE)

Arguments

escape

vector of character keypresses that escape the loop. The default is "escape" key.

fn

list of named functions

echo

whether the keypress should be echoed to the screen if not found in list

Value

NULL

Examples

# NOT RUN {
f <- list(
	 'up'    = function(){mv(row=-1)},
  'down'  = function(){mv(row=-1)},
	 'left'  = function(){mv(col=-1)},
	 'right' = function(){mv(col=1)}
)
# }
# NOT RUN {
getkpl(escape = c("escape", "enter"), fn=f, echo=FALSE)
# }
