Ie, how to get keystrokes send directly to my program without waiting for the user to press enter. Basicly I'm trying get something like curses's cbreak() call. (But I can't use curses due a couple of bugs/misfeatures that I haven't been able to work around.) This seems like something that should just be a trival escape sequence, but I haven't been able find anything.

1In particular, canonical mode has line-buffering and editing. OP may be looking for that, and/or other flags to disable between cooked and raw mode. – ephemient Dec 22 '10 at 06:54

Thanks (Still can't figure out why this isnt a escape.) – David X Dec 22 '10 at 07:20

The buffering does not take place in the terminal. It takes place in the kernel's tty driver. – R.. GitHub STOP HELPING ICE Dec 22 '10 at 07:23
