I'm using the xopen version of curses in Ultrix 4.0.
I want to use the cursor keys to move through an itemlist,
some normal keys are used to execute commands.
So I did basically this:
keypad(stdscr, TRUE);
for (;;)
{
key = getch();
switch key
{
}
}
I do have several other windows and pads which are part of the
screen.
The problem is that getch sometimes doesn't respond or returns the
wrong value on normal keys. It seems to depend on whats actually on
the screen. Did anyone see this problem before and did you solve
it?
If enough interest, I will summarize the responses to the net.
