Top Forums Programming Do you know whether ncurses supports Alt or Ctrl combination keys Post 302312362 by liuyan03 on Friday 1st of May 2009 04:55:05 AM

Hi fpmurphy,

Thank you for your information.

But the core header file of ncurses doesn't contain a key something like
Alt combination keys.

I mean that header file includes all the keys it supports. So if ncurses supports Alt combination key, that file should include some key identifying
Alt combination key.

Is my understanding correct?
