key

<static> String key(<String> str, <boolean> strOnly)

Converts embedded symbolic VT key name(s) to VT string. Symbolic key names are delimited by < and >, such as "<ESC>". These names may be embedded in a "standard" String, such as "<ESC>[A". Each symbolic key name will be converted to the appropriate "VT escape sequence" and returned as String; in our example the routine would return such as "\x1b[A" (which is identical to "<CUU>", "CursorUp".
Notes:
• symbolic names are case insensitive
• if no match was found, the (mis-spelled?) "key name" will be returned instead
• if the string contains a data char "<", it must be escaped: "<<>"
• Default is to send the result String to the host as well; if strOnly is true: does not send the String

Parameters:
str - the string with embedded symbolic VT key names
strOnly - optional: if true, does not send the result String to the hos; else (default): sends the result String to the host

Returns:
the VT string.
