[ruby-core:58695] [ruby-trunk - Bug #9177] Can't exit curses program and retain screen contents

You can use Process.exit! in such a situation.

Try appending "Process.exit!(0)" at the end your code.

Hi!

Please try the attached program.

Expected result:
* After you hit some key, the program should quit and the "Hit any key" message should still be visible on screen

Current result:
* When the program exits, the screen contents is restored to what it was before the program was started

Note:
* If you kill -9 the program, it exits without restoring the screen contents just like I want, but then it exits with a non-zero return code.

The use case is that I want my pager implementation to be able to exit without restoring screen contents when pressing ^C:

I currently use the kill -9 workaround, but would like to be able to do without it.

  Regards /Johan
