How to catch the keypress about terminal-kit HOT 5 CLOSED

Can you tell me which OS and terminal you are using? It looks like it does not support the raw mode. Windows?

from terminal-kit.

@cronvel my fault, since windows was not supported and I was on that OS, I was using a ssh client to connect to a linux machine I own, but 100% the terminal of the ssh client was not supported, when I tried on my laptop that has linux on it, it worked like a charm.

( the terminal I was using is from: Bitvise SSH if you are interested to add support or to know which terminal was failing )

Many thanks.

@cronvel do you know if is possible with terminal-kit to send the output something different that process stdoutput?

I explain, I'm trying to archive something like this (pseudo-code):

telnet.createServer(function(client) {
var term = ansi(client, { enabled: true })
term.write('Hello');
})

Using the ansi module is possible to send the output to the telnet client (in this case)

Hello @codekraft-studio

Have a look at this constructor, it allows you to configure your stdio.

Something like this should do the job:

var termkit = require( 'terminal-kit' ) ;

telnet.createServer(function(client) {
    var term = termkit.createTerminal( {
        stdout: client.stdout ,  // just guessing the 'client' structure here
        stdin: client.stdin ,  // just guessing the 'client' structure here
    } ) ;
    term.magenta( 'Hello! in magenta!' ) ;
} ) ;

If you need advanced features, your telnet lib should at least support the raw mode.

For your windows terminal, can you run some linux text editor with it?

• If you can't, there is nothing we can do.
• If you can, then your windows terminal simply has bad default modes, but vanilla Node.js cannot set any TTY mode (beside raw mode), you need a native module for that: the solution can be to use the excellent termios module by @Gottox:

I hesitate to include termios in Terminal-kit, but it bothers me to include native module. At the moment, Terminal-kit can be run on any Node.js machine, but if I include native module, it would require a compiler.

with the terminal provided by Bitvise I can use editors like nano and vim via ssh, eventually I will try to use termios if I really need, but for now i'm just "playing" with the code so I don't want to complicate my life too much.

I didn't see the documentation in deep, sorry I should have checked before!
Later today when I've time I'll try to see if it works like you suggested many thanks!
