AnalyzeOskCharacterUse.getStrings() method

Returns the collected results from earlier calls to AnalyzeOskCharacterUse.analyze(). This generates a mapping from a key cap (one or more characters) to a PUA code, for use with &displayMap.

Three output formats are supported:

  • .txt: tab-separated string format, with three columns: PUA, Key Cap, and plain string. The PUA and Key Cap columns are formatted as Unicode Scalar Values, e.g. U+0061, and the plain string is the original key cap string.

  • .md: formatted for documentation purposes. Generates a Markdown table (GFM) with PUA, Key Cap, and plain string. The PUA and Key Cap columns are formatted as Unicode Scalar Values, e.g. U+0061, and the plain string is the original key cap string.

  • .json: returns the final aggregated data as an array of strings, which can be joined to form a JSON blob of an object with a single member, map, which is an array of objects.

Signature:

getStrings(format?: '.txt' | '.md' | '.json'): string[];
