#Here is something I wrote a few years ago when I was bored one day.
#Warning: this contains control characters.
# Line input routine for GNU Bourne-Again Shell
# plus terminal-control primitives.
#
# by Kaz Kylheku
# June 1996, Vancouver, Canada
#
# Function to disable canonical input processing.
# Terminal modes are saved into variable "savetty"
#
#
function raw
{
savetty=$(stty -g)
stty -icanon -isig -echo -echok -echonl inlcr
}
#
# Function to restore terminal settings from savetty variable
#
function restore
{
stty $savetty
}
#
# Set terminal MIN and TIME values.
# If the input argument is a zero, set up terminal to wait for
# a keystroke indefinitely. If the argument is non-zero, set up
# an absolute timeout of that many tenths of a second. The inter-keystroke
# timer facility of the terminal driver is not exploited.
#
function settimeout
# $1 = tenths of a second
{
if [ "$1" = "0" ] ; then
min=1
timeout=0
else
min=0
timeout="$1"
fi
stty min $min time $timeout
unset min timeout
}
#
# Input a single key using 'dd' and echo it to standard output.
# Launching an external program to get a single keystroke is a bit
# of a pig, but it's the best you can do! Maybe we could convince the
# GNU guys to make 'dd' a bash builtin.
#
function getkey
{
eval $1="\"\$(dd bs=1 count=1 2> /dev/null)\""
}
#
# Input a line of text gracefully.
# The first argument is the name of a variable where the input line is
# to be stored. If this variable is not empty, its contents are printed
# and treated as though the user had entered them.
# The second argument gives the maximum length of the input line; if it
# is zero, the input is unlimited (bad idea).
# ^W is used to delete words
# ^R redraws the line at any time by backspacing over it and reprinting it
# ^U backspaces to the beginning
# ^H or ^? (backspace or del) delete a single character
# ^M (enter) terminates the input
# all other control keys are ignored and cause a beep when pressed
#
#

settimeout 0 # No keystroke timeout.

IFS="" # to null so ${#line} works correctly.
