Pakket: libtermkey1 (0.22-1)

library for processing keyboard input

This library allows easy processing of keyboard entry from terminal-based programs. It handles all the necessary logic to recognise special keys, UTF-8 combining, and so on, with a simple interface. It provides the following features:

 * Follows terminfo for every sequence listed there, only falling back on
   other methods to deal with unrecognised input.
 * Recognises special keys (such as arrow and function keys), including
   "modified" keys like Ctrl-Left.
 * Recognises XTerm-style mouse position/button reporting.
 * MIT licenced to allow almost all projects to use it; both Open Source
   and Commercial.
 * Small API - just three functions are needed in simple common cases.
 * Both synchronous (blocking) and asynchronous (non-blocking) APIs are
   supported.
