The ON Char event is triggered when a character results from pressing one or more inside of a custom @window”).
See the note about the on keydown event, pressing control + o should result in two keypress being reported from on keydown, and control + o generates the character with code point 15, on char will trigger for that character.
This event fills the following identifiers:
**$keyval**The unicode codepoint of the character resulting from keypresses
**$keychar**The actual character resulting from keypresses
**$keyrpt**If the key is being held down/repeating

Create an alias that launches a custom, picture window which listens for resulting character from keypresses and displays the character and if it is repeating:
alias keyDownTest {
window -p $+ $iif($window(@myWindow),ra) @myWindow 550 300 250 105
}
ON *:char:@myWindow:*: {
clear @myWindow
drawtext @myWindow 1 3 3 Codepoint value: $iif($keyval,$v1,NA)
drawtext @myWindow 1 3 25 Character: $iif($keychar,$v1,NA)
drawtext @myWindow 1 3 47 Repeating: $keyrpt
