keyboard-events

Hello im using curses to develop a small console application. I have a main loop section wich waits for user input, it uses the getstr function, of course this waits for the user to press enter. I would like to capture the up and down and tab keypresses. I suppose this can't be done with getstr. Anyone have any idea how to do this? EDIT: i've tried using STDIN.getc wich blocks the application from running, and getch doesnt catch the arrow keys EDIT #2 : im trying this code on windows. It seems that Curses.getch works for linux, but on windows i get no key sent for the up arrow. You need to set

If I type 'St', by the time I press the t, if I output the input of textfield.value in the onkeypress / onkeydown functions, I only get 'S'. Why is this? How do I get rid of this lag? use the keyup event instead of keypress . keydown will show the before-keystroke value, as will keypress (apparently). Within the keypress event, it's still possible to prevent the typed character from registering, so the input's value canot be updated until after the keypress event. You can use the keyup event instead, or use window.setTimeout() to set up a delay. Because the keystroke is not registered until

I am writing some test applications that perform simple keyboard event capture. I have no problem with this basic approach. But now I need a better experience with my application and I want to connect at least two or more USB or PS/2 keyboards, distinguishing what keyboard is the source of the key events, and so being able to use the web browser locally with JavaScript (and HTML5), as if it was a game console with several controllers for more than one player, simultaneously. I know that even under Windows or Linux, the normal behavior is to make several keyboards fire the same events. However,

in FF, i've used this code: if (keyCount == lineLimit) { // method in FF, no Chrome var mock = document.createEvent("KeyboardEvent"); // or KeysEvent mock.initKeyEvent("keypress",true,true,null,false,false,false,false,14,0); var x = document.getElementById('InputCategory'); // rise height before Enter $(this).height(div_height + font_height + offset_height); // mock Enter x.dispatchEvent(mock); // init keyCount keyCount = 0; } it works, but could not be effective on webkit-based browsers like chrome. so i asked google and found keyboard event is one of the DOM Level 3 events,here is an aticle:

I need to generate keyup events in IE 8 using native DOM functions (no jQuery). The following code generates, fires, and receives the event, but the keyCode is always 0. How do I properly pass the keyCode? <form><input id="me" type="submit" /></form> <script type="text/javascript"> var me = document.getElementById("me"); me.attachEvent("onkeyup", function(e) { alert(e.keyCode); // => 0 }); document.getElementById("me").fireEvent('onkeyup', 13); </script> Figured it out. The solution is to create an event object, assign the keycode, and fire it from the node. var e = document.createEventObject(
