Method: Curses::Window#keypad=

Defined in:
ext/curses/curses.c

#keypad(bool) ⇒ Object

Enables the keypad of the user’s terminal.

If enabled (bool is true), the user can press a function key (such as an arrow key) and wgetch returns a single value representing the function key, as in KEY_LEFT. If disabled (bool is false), curses does not treat function keys specially and the program has to interpret the escape sequences itself. If the keypad in the terminal can be turned on (made to transmit) and off (made to work locally), turning on this option causes the terminal keypad to be turned on when Curses::Window.getch is called.

The default value for keypad is false.
