Arrows Input

[olls]

Detecting the arrow keys with the nbinput module would be very useful. I need to work out how to do it, as at it seems to come through as multiple characters as it is set up at the moment.

This can't be done using sys.stdin. You must use GUI libraries or Curses which will return keysyms. sys.stdin.read(n) can read n chars at a time, but will block the shell while doing so. sys.stdin.readline() will read until a line break (enter).

I think it is possible, It gives a sequence of key presses when I press them in my tests, I just need to detect that sequence.

I definatly don't want to use curses or another big library, because this is a similar libray to them.

Updating to newer version on nbinput (used in Pycraft) will fix this.
