# Curses.noTimeout(3kaya)

Disable escape sequence timeout

## NAME

Curses::noTimeout - Disable escape sequence timeout

## SYNOPSIS

**Void noTimeout(** *Window win, Bool bf* **)**

## ARGUMENTS

**win** The window to apply to

**bf** Whether to disable timeouts on escape sequences

## DESCRIPTION

If escape sequence timeouts are enabled, then curses will timeout and return the raw characters if a partial escape sequence has too much delay before the next character. This is usually useful, but may be inconvenient where users are manually entering escape sequences.
