Curses input routines. This is only a rough summary. See the curses(3)
manual page or a curses tutorial of your choice for further information.

CURS:FLUSHINP drains all pending keyboard input, so any characters
typed ahead will never be delivered.

CURS:GETCH fetches the next key from the keyboard queue and delivers
its keycode. Keycode mostly correspond to ASCII codes. When in keypad
mode (see CURS:KEYPAD), CURS:GETCH may return special codes for some
keys that do not have an ASCII code, like the arrow keys for moving
the cursor. The following special keycode constants exist:

        CURS:KEY-BACKSPACE
        CURS:KEY-UP
        CURS:KEY-DOWN
        CURS:KEY-LEFT
        CURS:KEY-RIGHT
        CURS:KEY-HOME
        CURS:KEY-PPAGE
        CURS:KEY-NPAGE

Before reading the keyboard queue, CURS:GETCH commits all pending
writes to the scrren by calling CURS:REFRESH and also synchronizes
the hardware cursor with the virtual cursor. CURS:GETCH blocks unless
nodelay mode (see CURS:NODELAY) has been activated. In nodelay mode
CURS:GETCH returns #F when there are no characters in the keyboard
queue.

CURS:INCH returns the character found on the current (virtual)
position on the virtual screen.

CURS:GETYX returns a list containing the current virtual cursor
position in the format (Y X).

CURS:LINES returns the number of lines in the screen.

CURS:COLS returns the number of columns in the screen.

CURS:MVGETCH moves the cursor to the specified position and then
performs a GETCH operation.

CURS:MVINCH returns the character found on row INTEGER_Y, column
INTEGER_X of the virtual screen.

CURS:UNCTRL converts an unreadable character to a readable
representation. For instance, it returns "^[" for the ESC
character.

CURS:UNGETCH puts a keycode back to the keyboard queue so that
a subsequent call to CURS:GETCH or CURS:MVGETCH will deliver it.
