License issues apart, I did following silly things:
- revive an old patch untested (it doesn't work)
- didn't look at the available code ( it seems to have all the needed
framework).
So I'll first try to make the available code do the things I want ( react on
the arrow keys without spitting out something like "^[[A")
Bye
