>>> huh? slang/ncurses runs the tty in raw mode...
Marco's issue concerns rxvt-unicode not the text console.
There is no keyboard raw mode in a graphic terminal for the simple
reason that any application below X11 is interacting with X11 and not
with the kernel. This includes applications written for the text
console: if they try to switch to raw keyboard, they will wait a
little while. Note that they are interacting with the terminal, the
terminal is interacting with X11.
In the tty neither slang nor ncurses do switch to raw keyboard. (Try
and tell apart TAB, Ctrl-TAB and Ctrl-I in jed or any slang
application.) When ncurses refers to raw mode, they are talking about
NOT converting received keystrings (keyboard is in ASCII or UNICODE
mode) into numbers. For instance, in cooked (i.e. not raw) mode the
left arrow gets 0404.
