So, I changed that line like you said, and now it is all working! I am happy! This thing has been bugging me for years! (Well, it is working on Linux. On Cygwin, for some reason, it still fails to detect keystrokes that have been typed in but not yet followed by RETURN key. But I will try to chase that problem some other time.) Now, if only we had a way to say: read -d "" --noblock Thanks again!
