From: Ondrej Bilka Date: 2006-08-17T21:21:39+09:00 Subject: char-actization Curses.getch Another issue at head is that Curses.getch still returns int. Problem is that when keypad is set it returns pseudokeycodes, so we have to convert only when <256. And little quiz: How do you recognize that user pressed M-x ? Curses.getch==?\M-x ? wrong. =Curses.getch==?\e && Curses.getch==?x
