Example: ghostty-vt C Key Encoding

This example demonstrates how to use the ghostty-vt C library to encode key events into terminal escape sequences.

This example specifically shows how to:

1. Create a key encoder with the C API
2. Configure Kitty keyboard protocol flags (this example uses KKP)
3. Create and configure a key event
4. Encode the key event into a terminal escape sequence

The example encodes a Ctrl key release event with the Ctrl modifier set, producing the escape sequence \x1b[57442;5:3u.

Usage

Run the program:

zig build run
