Intercepting key presses in listener
Hi there,
have a look at this bit of code:
(defun input nil
(loop for char = (read-char)
do (write-char char)))
What it is supposed to do is wait until the user presses a key displaying
it in the standard output afterwards. Yet there is a trouble---not only
(write-char char) displays the input character but (read-char) does that
too. So, for example, if we want to type into the listener
LISPWORKS
instead we get
LLIISSPPWWOORRKKSS
which is lovely but not quite what we need. So the question is, how does
one go about reading a key press in the listener without displaying it
back but rather generating our own output?
