How to get the console in raw mode in rust 🖤

#rust #learning #console #programming

Rust by default does not have a console management in pure raw mode. If you are looking for a way to handle keyboard events you can add the lightweight k_board library. Here is an example and the structure offered in the official documentation.

cargo add k_board

use k_board::{Keyboard, Keys}; fn main() { for key in Keyboard::new() { match key { Keys::Up => //code 1 Keys::Down => //code 2 Keys::Enter => break, _ => {} } } }
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode 
pub enum Keys { Up, Down, Left, Right, Enter, Space, Delete, Escape, Plus, Minus, Equal, Power, ^ Slash, / Backslash, \ Asterisk, * Point, Comma, Hashtag, Pipe, | Percent, % Ampersand, Currency, $ TwoPoints, : Semicolon, ; OpenSquareBracket, [ CloseSquareBracket, ] OpenCurlyBrace, { CloseCurlyBrace, } OpenQuestionMark, ¿ CloseQuestionMark, ? OpenParenthesis, ( CloseParenthesis, ) LessThan, < GreaterThan, > Apostrophe, ' At, @ Home, End, Tab, Backtab, Insert, Letter(char), Number(u8), F(u8), Ctrl(char), Alt(char), Null, }
