The Sinclair QL Forum

I have been working on a curses driven program and I am hitting the problem that keyboard input is always blocking.

Probably something simple I have missed about QL.

raw() - is set
nodelay() - is set

wgetch() is still blocking though when docs say it should not be.

I seem to distantly recall that a small (1 tick) delay worked better on the QL than nodelay().

I’ll give that a go!

Confirmed halfdelay(1) works as effectively non blocking thanks!
