Nice work. > EOF before submission, cancellation, and operational failures throw > TerminalException. Perhaps it would be desirable to distinguish between the user cancelling, and a genuine error, and perhaps also EOF; for example with subclasses of TerminalException. > The default for a blocking read is 25 milliseconds. Is this sufficiently long, even when used over SSH or such? Is this configurable in readSecret as well? > A resize is returned as Key::Resize. If I resize the terminal twice, do I get two Key::Resize? getSize() seems to update the stored size of the terminal. Do I still get a Key::Resize after I call getSize()? > $timeout sets the overall timeout: zero: make a non-blocking attempt This would not work with escape sequences, right? Or does it work correctly if the key is already buffered? Regards, Sjoerd Langkemper
