 # WebAssembly Key Encoder Example
 
-This example demonstrates how to use the Ghostty VT library from WebAssembly to encode key events into terminal escape sequences.
-
-## What It Does
-
-The example demonstrates using the Ghostty VT library from WebAssembly to encode key events:
-
-1. Loads the `ghostty-vt.wasm` module
-2. Creates a key encoder with Kitty keyboard protocol support
-3. Creates a key event for left ctrl release
-4. Queries the required buffer size (optional)
-5. Encodes the event into a terminal escape sequence
-6. Displays the result in both hexadecimal and string format

-## Expected Output
-
-```
-Encoding event: left ctrl release with all Kitty flags enabled
-Required buffer size: 12 bytes
-Encoded 12 bytes
-Hex: 1b 5b 35 37 3a 33 3b 32 3a 33 75
-String: \x1b[57:3;2:3u
-```
-
-## Notes
-
-- The example uses the convenience allocator functions exported by the wasm module
-- Error handling is included to demonstrate proper usage patterns
-- The encoded sequence `\x1b[57:3;2:3u` is a Kitty keyboard protocol sequence for left ctrl release with all features enabled
-- The `env.log` function must be provided by the host environment for logging support
-
-## Current Limitations
-
-The current C API is verbose when called from WebAssembly because:
-
-- Functions use output pointers requiring manual memory allocation in JavaScript
-- Options must be set via pointers to values
-- Buffer sizes require pointer parameters
-
-See `WASM_API_PLAN.md` for proposed improvements to make the API more wasm-friendly.
