getch '\n' on windows

require 'io/console'

loop do
    puts($stdin.getch.inspect)
end

# KeyPresses:
# A => "A"
# B => "B"
# \n => nothing...
# C => "\n"
# D => returns twice "C" "D"

I cannot reproduce it.
What key do you press for \n?

Here too, on Win10. See also JEG2/highline#244

I press Enter.

ruby -v
ruby 2.5.6p201 (2019-08-28 revision 67796) [x64-mingw32]

Same on Win7.

The io-console bundled with 2.5 is quite old.
Could you try more recent versions?

With the latest gem release it's the same, but with master here it kinda works. I get \r when pressing Enter (why not \n?)

Not sure if this is intended, but if I press Ctrl-C with the existing version I get char 3, but with master I get an Interrupt exception.

I bisected the issue, and it was fixed in fae7933, which is included in 0.5.0.

Can you please push 0.5.0 to rubygems.org?

On linux (debian) Enter produces \r as well, but Ctrl-C gives \u0003 and does not raise an exception.

Fixed Ctrl-C issue on Windows now, thank you for the pointing out.
\r(= Ctrl-M) is the expected code for Enter.
It is translated to \n by console drivers when it is in "cooked" mode, and getch bypasses it.

You may close this issue.

Can you please also publish binary packages for mingw to rubygems?

We have dropped the binary gem support at 972ceb0.
