After a few attempts it does not work, not because of TIOCSTI but because of the reading part. In order to get a keypress, I must disable terminal canonical mode and set VMIN/VTIME. But even if I reinject keypress using TIOCSTI, there are problems because I interfere with programs that expect other behavior from the terminal. Would it make sense to add a knote in wscons for keypresses, so that they can be readen using kevent? -- Emmanuel Dreyfus http://hcpnet.free.fr/pubz m...@netbsd.org
