NAME

Term::ReadKey

DESCRIPTION

Read single (unbuffered) keys from terminal.

SYNOPSIS

use Term::ReadKey;

react {
  whenever key-pressed(:!echo) {
    given .fc {
      when 'q' { done }
      default { .uniname.say }
    }
  }
}

FUNCTIONS

read-key(Bool :$echo = True --> Str)

Reads one unbuffered (unicode) character from STDIN and returns it as Str or Nil if nothing could be read. By default the typed character will be echoed to the terminal unless :!echo is passed as argument.

key-pressed(Bool :$echo = True --> Supply)

Returns a supply that emits characters as soon as they're typed (see example in SYNOPSIS). The named argument :$echo can be used to enable/disable echoing of the character (on by default).
