Raw keyboard capture with process.stdin doesn't work as expected. about help HOT 8 CLOSED

AFAIK, this is still an issue, should it be reopened as a bug on nodejs/node? Having troubles getting it to work correctly on Node 5.7.1, Windows 10.

If anyone is still watching this issue, a fix is incoming: libuv/libuv#866

There is some minor depreciation going on here. 👎

👍

But there pointing @ this

from help.

Just tested the keypress package, same problem, It awaits an initial ENTER input, then it works normally.

I think the deprecated calls are for the TTY object, they suggest to call process.stdin. which is what I do ??

Perhaps it's on my end? But it's the same on 2 computers. Windows 10 and Windows 8.1.

I have a TUI lib that I was developing a year ago with node 0.10.0. But since I got back to it and decided to upgrade it to support the new nodes, that's where this problem came it.

It worked perfectly with older node versions, which is something to make be believe that this is a bug?

As a temporary solution I request an enter keystroke at the beginning of the program.

The user presses enter and then stdin raw captures the keys normally.

Yeah, the temporary solution is good, but It's a weird problem. Well alright then let me know if you wish further help.

Will do, thanks! 😺
