rakuonkeypress

How can I respond to a key press, without a CRLF, in Raku?

I would like to implement:

Press any key to continue...

That responds to, well, any key without pressing the Return or Enter key.

Term::ReadKey does not implement this behavior. It requires a CRLF.

I'm using iTerm2.

Solution

  • I think you will have to use a module to be able to do that in Raku. Term::termios comes to mind.
