🎯 Use case

This file lives under β€œink/”, which covers Ink terminal UI (layouts, TTY IO, keyboard, renderer components). On the API surface it exposes TerminalQuery, decrqm, da1, da2, and kittyKeyboard (and more) β€” mainly functions, hooks, or classes. It composes internal code from parse-keypress and termio (relative imports). What the file header says: Query the terminal and await responses without timeouts. Terminal queries (DECRQM, DA1, OSC 11, etc.) share the stdin stream with keyboard input. Response sequences are syntactically distinguishable from key events, so the input parser recognizes them and dispatches them here. To.

🧠 Inline summary

Query the terminal and await responses without timeouts. Terminal queries (DECRQM, DA1, OSC 11, etc.) share the stdin stream with keyboard input. Response sequences are syntactically distinguishable from key events, so the input parser recognizes them and dispatches them here. To avoid timeouts, each query batch is terminated by a DA1 sentinel (CSI c) β€” every terminal since VT100 responds to DA1, and terminals answer queries in order. So: if your query's response arrives before DA1's, the terminal supports it; if DA1 arrives first, it doesn't. Usage: const [sync, grapheme] = await Promise.all([ querier.send(decrqm(2026)), querier.send(decrqm(2027)), querier.flush(), ]) // sync and grapheme are DECRPM responses or undefined if unsupported
