Enter key on Windows doesn't work

[Thorsten Kampe]

Hi,

I'm running the example code from npyscreen's introduction in the documentation. It looks like the Enter key does not work correctly in the application. For instance I cannot leave the `TitleFilenameCombo` widget with Enter. And I can leave the main application only if I select the `Ok` button with the Space key and then press Enter.

The `TextDateCombo` and `TextFilename` widgets work fine. What can I do?

I'm running the latest 64bit Python 3.4.2 with the latest npyscreen.

I probably need to add some additional keybindings for Windows. Your
terminal is probably not reporting the Enter Key in the way I
expected. I don't currently have a windows install that I can test.
I assume you are using Cygwin. I'll see if I can find a windows
installation I can test things on. In the meantime if you can try to
narrow down exactly what isn't working, I'll fix it.

I'm running plain Windows with the curses module from here: www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/. Cygwin on the same computer works fine.

What doesn't work is leaving the npyscreen application with Enter. You first have to press Space, then "OK" turns to ">OK<" and then Enter works.

The second thing that doesn't work is leaving "Filename2" (the Example Code for TitleFilenameCombo from http://npyscreen.readthedocs.org/introduction.html#example-code). On Cygwin, you can select with Enter or Space and the next Enter leaves the widget. On Windows, only Space selects and sends you to the bottom of the screen. The next Enter takes you back to selecting your file name.

Thanks. That's let me track it down.  I'll post a fix first thing when I get in to work tomorrow morning.  It's just a missing handler.

Best wishes,

This bug should be fixed in the 4.6.3 release just uploaded.

Leaving the application with Enter now works. Selecting files in TitleFilenameCombo and leaving TitleFilenameCombo with Enter still does not work.

OK. I've gone through and added the relevant keybinding for windows
everywhere I can think of!

Selecting a file and leaving the widget works now perfectly in Textfilenamecombo. Thanks a milliion!
