Hi!

Please try the following program:

#!/usr/bin/ruby require 'curses' include Curses init_screen crmode setpos((lines - 5) / 2, (cols - 10) / 2) addstr('Hit any key') refresh getch # Don't close_screen(); we want the screen contents to remain after # exiting

Expected result:

• After you hit some key, the program should quit and the "Hit any key" message should still be visible on screen

Current result:

• When the program exits, the screen contents is restored to what it was before the program was started

Note:

• If you kill -9 the program, it exits without restoring the screen contents just like I want, but then it exits with a non-zero return code.

The use case is that I want my pager implementation to be able to exit without restoring screen contents when pressing ^C:

I currently use the kill -9 workaround, but would like to be able to do without it.

Regards /Johan
