    Hi,

    I don't know where to post that question.

    I need a non blocking version of getch, so I set nodelay(stdscr, TRUE)

    However the standard delay for distinguishing "esc" key from
    "functions"
    keys pressed is too high IMO.

    According to man page, timeout() is not the function to use for that
    purpose.

    Is there an alternative to setting ESCDELAY environment variable before
    launching the program ?


for some not too old ncurses

#ifdef NCURSES_EXT_FUNCS

     set_escdelay(25);

#endif


    Thanks

OK, why is man page (Routine Name Index) not showing this function ?
