getActiveTTY()

int jevois::getActiveTTY

(

)

muteKeyboard()

void jevois::muteKeyboard	(	int	tty,
		int &	kb_mode
	)

Prevent keystrokes from reaching the tty.

Useful when doing direct drawing into the linux framebuffer, as in ImGuiBackendMALI. Returned kb_mode is what it was, use it in unMuteKeyboard to restore.

unMuteKeyboard()

void jevois::unMuteKeyboard	(	int	tty,
		int	kb_mode
	)

Restore the keyboard mode for given tty.

Use kd_mode that was returned by muteKeyboard().
