Would you mind adding a multiline input example?

Hello !
Your code has greatly helped me to intergrate readline in ncurses for a student project.
I would like to replicate an irssi interface for an IRC-like protocol.
I want to catch keypresses events (like F(n) keys, or shift-arrow combinaisons) in the ncurses part and not forward them to readline. The catching is done with keypad, but as you wrote:

Do not enable keypad() since we want to pass unadulterated input to readline

How can I handle special keys events in the ncurses scope, while passing unadulterated input to readline ? Is is possible ? Maybe with a inverse transformation ?
What if I do keypad, then test if its a special char, if so disable keypad and somehow ungetch the character ?

Or is the only solution to wait and watch for the sequence of unadulterated input ? ncurses.faq.html#modified_keys

Thank you for your time.

PS: can I use your code ? Is is MIT licensed ?

You should be able to do this:

char buf[64] = "set disable-completion on";
rl_parse_and_bind(buf);

Just keep in mind that the rl_parse_and_bind() parameter could not be const, or it will segfault.
So rl_parse_and_bind("set disable-completion on"); is not possible.
