Current Goal: Nano + Neovim + Word

• Enable Raw Mode

I will use cfmakeraw(&termios_struct); but its better to know how and what is being done

Disable in c_lflag - ICANON, ECHO, ISIG, IEXTEN

Basicly all processing in real time of the input given by user is disabled. Now, all characters are read one by one.

Disable in c_iflag - IXON, ICRNL, INLCR, IGNCR, BRKINT, PARMRK, ISTRIP

Interpret all input modes as they are. No flow contro by ctrl + (-), prevents \r and \n translations. disables special characters, keeps /-bit characters, etc.

Verify in c_cflag - CS8, PARENB

Ensures 8-bit data.

Set c_cc - VMIN, VTIME

No timeout, and blocks read until 1 byte available.

• Disable Ctrl+( ) escape keys
• Implement exit key. -> 'q' but in the end the exit key will be similar to nano's design.

Next Goals:

• Write input on screen.
• CTRL+# leads to an action.(X: Exits, TAB: 4 spaces)
