getchar() {
trap "" SIGINT SIGQUIT
trap "return;" $SIG_DEAD
while true; do
    read -s -n 1 key
    case "$key" in
        [qQ]) kill -$SIG_QUIT $game_pid
              return
              ;;
        [kK]) kill -$SIG_UP $game_pid
              ;;
        [lL]) kill -$SIG_RIGHT $game_pid
              ;;
        [jJ]) kill -$SIG_DOWN $game_pid
              ;;
        [hH]) kill -$SIG_LEFT $game_pid
              ;;
   esac
done
}

I have this part of a code and the values in [] are for moving wright, left, up and down. I would like to replace it with the arrrows on the keyboard, but i don´t know what value to put in.
