Loop unit char entered

[Daniel Jankins]

Hi All,

I have a newbie question.  I want to loop until a char is available (keypress).

Could someone point me to an example.

 Thank you

I can't point you to an example because that wouldn't be idiomatic Go; thus such examples are (I hope) hard to find. In Go you shouldn't busy wait using a function like "kbhit" . You should create a channel for communicating the keys that are seen, create a goroutine that reads from os.Stdin and injects keys into that channel, then use an event loop in a different goroutine that uses "select" to read key events from that channel.

Daniel,

I'd like to see source code for this if you're able.

Thanks,
