curses

I'm currently attempting to write a minimal terminal multiplexer using ncurses. However, when I try to execv a shell, it doesn't print to the window, and instead starts a new subprocess that takes control of the window (i.e. ignores ncurses). How can I prevent that and have ncurses control it? Is there some way of getting the tty and controlling that? EDIT Thanks to Ross Ridge in the comments, I now know that I need to create a pseudo-terminal, which I then read into an ncurses window. However, I can't figure out how to get the stdout to print in an ncurses window. Is there an ncurses function

I was making a 2048 game on CodeBlocks, but due to debugging problems, I move to Visual Studio Community 2017. It seems that conio.h doesn't work there, so I'm trying to switch to curses.h library. I've read a lot of tutorials, but none of them worked for me. I visited their website and downloaded the zip file with 384KB, but I do not know what to do with these files. Help, please? I have found a very useful website which talks about PDCurses and its installation in Visual Studio . Even though it is for 2010/2013, it really worked for me in VS2017 — even the demo programs (with very minute

I wrote this simple program on Windows. Since Windows has conio, it worked just fine. #include <stdio.h> #include <conio.h> int main() { char input; for(;;) { if(kbhit()) { input = getch(); printf("%c", input); } } } Now I want to port it to Linux, and curses/ncurses seems like the right way to do it. How would I accomplish the same using those libraries in place of conio? #include <stdio.h> #include <ncurses.h> int main(int argc, char *argv) { char input; initscr(); // entering ncurses mode raw(); // CTRL-C and others do not generate signals noecho(); // pressed symbols wont be printed to

while 1: ... window.addstr(0, 0, 'abcd') window.refresh() ... window size is full terminal size, big enough to hold abcd . If 'abcd' is modified to shorter string like 'xyz' , then on terminal I will see 'xyzd' . What exactly I am doing wrong? addstr() only prints the string you specify, it does not clear the following characters. You will have to do that yourself: To clear characters until the end of the line, use clrtoeol() , To clear characters until the end of the window, use clrtobot() . Let's suppose you have this code, and you just want to know how to implement draw() : def draw(window,

I am trying to write a console application in Python3. The problem is I would like all output messages EG: print("Status message") to be above the input line at the bottom. Status message 1 Status message 2 Status message 3 Console:> I want to type here while the output messages displayed at the moment it looks more like this Console:> want to type here while the outStatus message 1 put messages displayed Is there anyway to do this without using curses? Try this: print chr(27)+'[2AOutput' Hope this is what you are asking for. Sorry the above is for Python 2.7. I am not sure whether the Python

When I try to run the following code... from telnetsrvlib import * if __name__ == '__main__': "Testing - Accept a single connection" class TNS(SocketServer.TCPServer): allow_reuse_address = True class TNH(TelnetHandler): def cmdECHO(self, params): """ [<arg> ...] Echo parameters Echo command line parameters back to user, one per line.

I'm looking for tutorials on using PDCurses library. Unfortunately there is text only documentation, which is more like function reference. Are pdcurses similar enough to ncurses to use ncurses tutorials??? Any tips for making console UI's ??? PS. PDCurses - mingw32. This blog entry isn't anything I'd call a tutorial but it looks like it might be an interesting starting point. It is featuring a (very, very basic) video tutorial on YouTube as well. You can always use this tutorial for Ncurses , and change the #include from ncurses.h to curses.h in order to use pdcurses. I do not know PDcurses
