Source: ncurses
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
According to the inopts(3ncurses) man page, calling:
notimeout(win, TRUE)
for an ncurses window should disable the timer for interpreting input
escape sequences in wgetch(). The expected result, therefore, is that
this would remove the one-second delay in registering the user hitting
ESC when keypad(win, TRUE) has also been called.
This is not the case; the one-second delay remains in force, despite
seeming to be ludicrously long even for a physical terminal on a 9600
baud serial line (approx. 1ms per character), let alone a terminal
emulator.
