RE: [PyCrust] bug in OnKeyDown

[Patrick K. O'B. <po...@or...>]

I see what you mean. Having dialogs for stdin really sucks. I'll definitely
move this up in my list of priorities, but I can't promise when I'll have
this fixed/improved. In the mean time, I know Boa's shell does it the way
you want. You might find code there that you could patch into PyCrust. I
don't think Riaan would mind.
