I am writing a small "console" application that is generally outputting data [via printf()]. I would like the user to be able to enter text but I don't want the current output messed up - I am currently using getchar() in a separate thread but have found that this echos the typed character (and, in fact, it doesn't exit until a CR [so it operated more like gets()]).

I am assuming that my solution is to intercept keystroke events from the RunLoop. I have studied the documentation but could do with an example of how to do this. Could someone point me to a working example?

I have this working on a windoze platform; they have a _kbhit() function that I use, but I have also handled Windows messages to do this.

Many thanks,  email@hidden
