piping content to script incompatible with blessed about blessed HOT 3 CLOSED

👍 I can confirm this issue.

After struggling with the same problem for a little while, I've gotten this working over at jsonfui --

If you pipe in content, the stdin stream is dedicated to that input. That can't change. Instead, you want to tell blessed to read from the active terminal (/dev/tty) instead of standard input (/dev/stdin).

Blessed supports this by accepting an input option on screen. While it defaults to process.stdin, you can pass in a reference to the terminal input instead.

I found the ttys module wraps this behaviour quite nicely if you want to be able to have the same code for either case (stdin or dev/ttyl if stdin is not a tty).

@AdrianSchneider, blessed no longer throws an error when input/output isn't a TTY. Try the latest version.
