# SendString
|
|
|
|
Sends the string specified argument to the terminal in the current tab, as
|
|
though that text were literally typed into the terminal.
|
|
|
|
```lua
|
|
local wezterm = require 'wezterm';
|
|
|
|
return {
|
|
keys = {
|
|
{key="m", mods="CMD", action=wezterm.action{SendString="Hello"}},
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can also emit escape sequences using `SendString`. This example shows
|
|
how to bind Alt-LeftArrow/RightArrow to the Alt-b/f, an emacs style
|
|
keybinding for moving backwards/forwards through a word in a line editor.
|
|
|
|
`\x1b` is the ESC character:
|
|
|
|
```lua
|
|
local wezterm = require 'wezterm';
|
|
|
|
return {
|
|
keys = {
|
|
-- Make Option-Left equivalent to Alt-b which many line editors interpret as backward-word
|
|
{key="LeftArrow", mods="OPT", action=wezterm.action{SendString="\x1bb"}},
|
|
-- Make Option-Right equivalent to Alt-f; forward-word
|
|
{key="RightArrow", mods="OPT", action=wezterm.action{SendString="\x1bf"}},
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
See also [SendKey](SendKey.md) which makes the example above much more convenient,
|
|
and [Multiple](Multiple.md) for combining multiple actions in a single press.
