curses key codes not working - jgrillout - Feb-11-2019
I am attempting to use curses in python. I am finding that the keycodes are
possibly not correct.
here is some sample code I'm using to test the keys
stdscr.keypad(True) c = stdscr.getch() if c == curses.KEY_ENTER:using this code, str(hex( c )) equals 0xa
and the value of str(hex(curses.KEY_ENTER)) equals 0x157
and the value of str(int(curses.KEY_ENTER)) equal 343
so a test like this is never true
if c==curses.KEY_ENTER:
will not work
I know I can test using another way. I'd prefer to use those constants
I found that tests for curses.KEY_LEFT and curses.KEY_RIGHT do work and the test for curses.KEY_BACKSPACE does not work
