Hi all -
I've just been looking at the docs for cons and consolefs. I am
just **blown away** by how cleanly and elegantly keyboard input is
handled in Plan 9! There seems to be *none* of the - um - "less
than optimal", to put it mildly - approach of Linux, with its
termios and friends.
There doesn't even seem to be the need for "readline",as far as I
can tell.
I assume it would be extremely difficult (if not impossible) to
implement this approach to keyboard-handling on Linux - would I be
correct in saying that? It's a pity, if that's the case.
Anyway, just a bit of praise there for the Plan 9 devs..... :)
