Hi all

on a linux 2.4.18 I'm using ncurses for a vt220-terminal-program and
want it to replay from prevoulsly recorded keyins:

ncursesProg < keyin.

This is no problem for ascii-chars but KEY_CODES must be input in the
proper vt220-esc-sequence.
Currently I manually convert the KEY_CODES back to vt220-escape
sequences, e.g. KEY_F1 \0411 is converted back to \033OP and so on.
By manually I mean that I check the result of getch() if it's KEY_CODE_YES.

I wonder if there would'nt be an easier methode.

Thanks 4 reading and hints,
Wolf

Perhaps keybound() does what you're asking (to simplify the conversion).

btw, getch() doesn't return KEY_CODE_YES.

Thanks, this appears to be what I'm lookin for.

Yes; I meant "checking the KEY_CODE_YES bit"
