make it quit with q

Display key presses

print out each byte that we read(). We’ll print each character’s numeric ASCII value, as well as the character it represents if it is a printable character.

Enable Raw Mode

Disable Raw Mode

UP (k) and Down (j) wont work

when I added the error handling for the movement so that you can no longer move it worked fine for left and right (h and l) but for some reason you cant use UP and DOWN (k, j) now when pressed it doesn't do anything but instead you can press the button for down or up fast 2 times and it will go at the end of the screen or the beginning depending on did you click the up button or down button.
