Hi,

How can I read a single character from standard output? I would like the user to press a single key and the reading function return imediately after that key is pressed.

so you want a function of type: IO Char

asking Hoogle (http://haskell.org/hoogle) we get: Prelude. getChar :: IO Char IO. hGetChar :: Handle -> IO Char

getChar doesn't return until I press Enter. I need something that returns immediately after I press any key. Thanks, Maurício
