I am writing an application using ncurses and trying to get a CTRL-M keypress from the keyboard. Ncurses is returning CTRL-J (aka \n) whenever I press CTRL-M (aka \r), so I suspect somewhere it is doing a CRLF translation. My program is running in raw() mode so I don't think it should be doing any translation. Is this an ncurses problem or is it coming from somewhere upstrea, like the terminal driver?

How can I get it to give me raw key presses without translation?

FWIW I am using ncurses on Linux, running bash in xfce4-terminal. My TERM is xterm-256color. I've searched on Google and checked the ncurses docs but can't find anything on this issue.

You need to call nonl(). Although it is documented in the outopts manual section, it affects input as well.
