Subject: [PATCH 2/3] terminal: set VMIN and VTIME in non-canonical mode
Date: Wed, 16 Feb 2022 10:54:31 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <02009172e081ab5c4de8e2476c1142f97b41698e.1645008873.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.1146.git.1645008873.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

From: Phillip Wood <phillip.wood@dunelm.org.uk>

If VMIN and VTIME are both set to zero then the terminal performs
non-blocking reads which means that read_key_without_echo() returns
EOF if there is no key press pending. This results in the user being
unable to select anything when running "git add -p".  Fix this by
explicitly setting VMIN and VTIME when enabling non-canonical mode.
