Question

Ie, how to get keystrokes send directly to my program without waiting for the user to press enter. Basicly I'm trying get something like curses's cbreak() call. (But I can't use curses due a couple of bugs/misfeatures that I haven't been able to work around.) This seems like something that should just be a trival escape sequence, but I haven't been able find anything.

Was it helpful?

Solution

Lookup termios and the tcsetattr function.

OTHER TIPS

Isn't this called the "raw mode"? If so, this might help you.
