From: vischne AT ibm DOT net (Victor Schneider) Subject: Speeding up the Cygwin console keyboard response 27 Oct 1997 00:35:50 -0800 Message-ID: <1.5.4.16.19971027025153.0c5f6250.cygnus.gnu-win32@pop1.ibm.net> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" To: gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com Somewhere in the implementation of the getch() and fread(stdin, &ch, n) code, there is a callback function with a WM_KEYDOWN case. Whatever is responding when a key is pressed is _not_ looking at the count field of the returned message. Which explains why the arrow keys can't move fast. Since I can call up a Dos window under Windows 95 and run the DJGPP version of pico.exe and the programmer's workshop version of micro- emacs.exe in that Dos window, I can easily convince you that the arrow keys are much more responsive in those ported Unix apps, and in the Borland version of lynx.exe than under Cygwin. - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
