There are two ways you can run Factor: in the terminal, or using our UI.
For the terminal, you will have to set the input mode to non-canonical using
tcsetattr and termios. We don't usually do this...
http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Serial-Programming-HOWTO/x115.html
Or you can uses curses, specifically the nodelay() call. In extra/curses/, call
nodelay after you make a curses-window.
Using the UI, you can do something similar to gesture-logger.
"gesture-logger" run
