I said I need a direct access to input devices, ie, /dev/wskbd* and
/dev/wsmouse*, not a library for text UI. ncurses won't work for what
I need, and I need to port libinput which works with input devices
directly, get it?

libinput is a library to handle input devices in Wayland compositors and
to provide a generic X.Org input driver. It provides device detection,
device handling, input device event processing and abstraction so
minimize the amount of custom input code compositors need to provide the
common set of functionality that users expect.

is ncurses too high-level for your needs?  That might work.

No, I need a direct access to keyboard outside X11. If I understand
wscons, I might help to port libinput to OpenBSD (and send patches to
upstream) to have usable Wayland compositors, but before I do that, I
need to start small.

Is the package x11/xbindkeys what you are looking for?

I don't know why, but my includes were not sent:

wscons API question: input handling?

[Leonid Bobrov]

Hi!

I want to write a program that executes a particular code at key press,
where can I find documentation about that? I have example program which
doesn't work:

int
main(void)
{
int kbdfd = open("/dev/wskbd", O_RDWR, 0);

if (errno != 0) {
printf("%s\n", strerror(errno));
return 1;
}

int key;

while(ioctl(kbdfd, WSCONS_EVENT_KEY_UP, ) != -1) {
if (key == KS_k)
printf("You pressed k!");
else if (key == KS_q)
break;
else
printf("You pressed %d!", key);
}

if (errno != 0) {
printf("%s\n", strerror(errno));
return 1;
}

return 0;
}
