I have a problem with NCurses… i need to handle all keys like Esc, Alt+F etc.
Problem is that the codes are similar… i.e:

Esc – 27

Alt+A – 27 65

As an example there is double code for Alt+[key] combination what similar to Esc key…
Any ideas how handle that?

    1. Use noecho or timeout mode
    2. Check for 27(ALT or ESC) code… if pass:
    3. try to read another code
    4. if another code is ERR then.. you have ESC key in other way you have ALT+another code
