Me! ;-)

That will be an option for the future, because linux fconfig will probably use ncurses.

I found another way that gives consistent codes on XP and W10x64:

http://www.vlzn.nl/fmail/files/getchtest_win2.zip

Can you test it in wine?

For:

UP
DOWN
F1
F2
INSERT
DELETE
a
b

I get:

    0 - 00 - ' ' + 26
    0 - 00 - ' ' + 28
    0 - 00 - ' ' + 70
    0 - 00 - ' ' + 71
    0 - 00 - ' ' + 2D
    0 - 00 - ' ' + 2E
   97 - 61 - 'a' + 41
   98 - 62 - 'b' + 42


Bye, Wilfred.
