Message-ID: <1996Apr29.174806.14478@relay.nswc.navy.mil> (raw)
Hopefully someone has already done this successfully. I'm trying to take input
directly from the keyboard as a control device. It won't help me to do a 'Get'
and wait for a <CR>. I would like to be able to "sense" when arrow keys or certain
letters are depressed and take action accordingly.
I assume I will have to open the keyboard as a device (ie /dev/kbd) and then
do a "Get". But does anyone know what the return value of the arrow keys on a
keyboard are? there is no reference to them in the Standard Package.
Thanx in advance for any help
