Re: [linux-audio-dev] Howto grab keys?

if simply getting ascii characters from ncurses is enough, then this message doesn't matter. but if you start to want to use modifiers combined with keys (e.g. Alt-a, Ctrl-F1), you need to move beyond the normal ncurses model. if you take a look at the ardour ncurses front end "ardour/ksi", you will find a relatively small app that does something pretty close to what you are thinking about. the key element is setting up the tty in medium-raw mode so that you can get actual key events from the keyboard rather than ASCII chars the way that ncurses normally does. try browsing CVS at: http://ardour.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/ardour/ksi_ardour/ and take a look at physical_keyboard.cc and ksi.cc to get an idea of what i am talking about. --p
