Hey man.. seeing as how you love that my script processes one key at a time, I'm using inkey() even more.... except I've run into a problem!

does that surprise you?! I didn't think so

I'm trying to use a switch statement to catch arrow keys from console.inkey()

It doesn't seem to be working.. it is passing some fancy ansi thru instead, and not catch them. do the K_<mode> bits work with console.inkey()?

here's how I wrote it, ... and none of the cases pick up the keys:

var key=console.inkey();
switch(key) {

case KEY_DOWN:
case KEY_UP:
case KEY_LEFT:
case KEY_RIGHT:
case '\x1e':
case '\x0a':
case '\x06':
case '\x1d':
write("die");
break;

}

there are other cases, and such, but that was the problem area.

You appear to have CTRL-[ or ESC set in console.ctrlkey_passthru. I'm not sure how you're setting the value of this variable, but adding the line: console.ctrlkey_passthru="-[";
will clear the offending bit.
