Keystrokes don't work on OpenBSD

[solresol]

I can supply a login to an OpenBSD system that demonstrates the problem.

When I start slack-term, no keystrokes do anything, even using a .slack-term file that works fine on a Linux box. When I kill the slack-term process, whatever I type ends up in the surrounding shell, as if they've never even been read in by the slack-term process.

That's indeed strange. At the moment I have no idea what might cause it. Can I ask you how you installed slack-term, via binary or go?

Compiled it from source using go. (Using the go compiler from OpenBSD ports)

FWIW I am seeing the same problem on openbsd 6.6 with slack-term compiled from source. Slack loads properly but I am not able to do anything (including quiting).

Running with the -debug flag does not show any additional output.

Here are some additional details in case it's helpful.

bsd$ go version
go version go1.13.1 openbsd/amd64

bsd$ ./slack-term --help
NAME:
    slack-term - slack client for your terminal

USAGE:
    slack-term -config [path-to-config]

VERSION:
    master

WEBSITE:
    https://github.com/erroneousboat/slack-term

GLOBAL OPTIONS:
   -config [path-to-config-file]
   -token [slack-token]
   -debug
   -help, -h

master in this case refers to this SHA aa5d501

Hi, reporting same issue as @levlaz. OpenBSD 6.6, slack-term installed via go get.

This is also reproducible on FreeBSD. I created a branch slack4bsd to test if this issue could be resolved with merging some fixes. Like FreeBSD keybindings fix and unsupported block type Please check if this is useful.

I at least merged the keybindings fix from nsf/termbox-go. Check if this resolves the problem

This fixed the problem. Thanks a lot!
