parse-key 

Parses strings into key objects of the same format as the ones emitted by nodejs readline.

Counter part to stringify-key.

Installation

npm i parse-key

Usage

``js
var parse = require('parse-key');

parse('ctrl-c') // returns { name: 'c', ctrl: true, meta: false, shift: false, alt: false }

parse('shift-ctrl-c') // returns { name: 'c', ctrl: true, meta: false, shift: true, alt: false }

parse('alt-c') // returns { name: 'c', ctrl: false, meta: false, shift: false, alt: true }
`

Caveats

For completeness' sake, the alt modifier is parsed and included with the returned key although the nodejs readline does not
include it in its key` object nor does it have any effect when the key is emitted.
