ncurses

In trying to get input from the arrow keys via curses (ncurses) it won't catch as KEY_UP etc. I used the keypad function with a true argument but getch still returns an escaped sequence. How do I sift through the values returned by getch() and grab the arrow keys specifically? Paul Franz I found the same problem on Mac OS X. But it was resolved by adding the following: keypad(stdscr, TRUE); I was storing getch() calls as char's when they were supposed to be int's. Works perfectly after the switch. Standard (VT100-like) terminals send a sequence of characters when the arrow keys are pressed.

I was trying to use raw_input() function first, but find it in compatible with ncurses. Then I tried window.getch() function, I can type and show characters on screen, but can't realize input. How can I input a word in ncurses and can use if statement to evaluate it? For example, I wanna realize this in ncurses : import ncurses stdscr = curses.initscr() # ???_input = "cool" # this is the missing input method I want to know if ???_input == "cool": stdscr.addstr(1,1,"Super cool!") stdscr.refresh() stdscr.getch() curses.endwin() Function raw_input( ) doesn't works in curses mode, The getch()

I'm trying to start developing a program using ncurses on Linux. I can't even get the Hello World example to compile. Here's the code: #include <curses.h> int main() { initscr(); printw("Hello, world."); refresh(); getch(); endwin(); return 0; } When I attempt to compile, I get: hello.c:(.text+0x12): undefined reference to `initscr' For every one of those called functions. I installed ncurses via apt-get, and also by downloading the sources and compiling, installing, etc. I have tried #include both curses.h and ncurses.h . What is going on? Have you used the -lcurses option when linking?

Are there any C++ libraries similar to Ncurses, but for Windows? It seems there are no ports of Ncurses and I need a really good display system like it. Any suggestions? Cross-platform is a plus. There is very similar library PDCurses. It uses the same calls as ncurses, but works on Win32. The only thing you'd need to port a program would be to recompile. http://pdcurses.sourceforge.net/ Not cross platform, but you could use the Windows API's Console Functions directly. It looks like the GNUWin32 project provides a direct port of NCurses. See here: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/ http:/

I am drawing a TUI using ncurses. The trouble is that whenever my program gets seg-fault, my terminal is left in mess. I can not see what I am typing. Its a pain since I am working over ssh. I have mitigated some of the effect by using screen. I would like to know if there is a command which will refresh my terminal after seg-fault in ncurses so that my terminal starts behaving normally. Command, stty sane^J did the job. UPDATE: On some terminals stty sane also works. ncurses (any curses implementation) sets the terminal modes to raw and noecho while running, and allows applications to
