window.idcok(flag) If flag is False, curses no longer considers using the hardware insert/delete character feature of the terminal; if flag is True, use of character insertion and deletion is enabled. When curses is first initialized, use of character insert/delete is enabled by default.

window.hline(ch, n) window.hline(y, x, ch, n) Display a horizontal line starting at (y, x) with length n consisting of the character ch.

window.get_wch([y, x]) Get a wide character. Return a character for most keys, or an integer for function keys, keypad keys, and other special keys. New in version 3.3.

window.getyx() Return a tuple (y, x) of current cursor position relative to the window’s upper-left corner.

window.getstr([y, x]) Read a string from the user, with primitive line editing capacity.

window.getparyx() Return the beginning coordinates of this window relative to its parent window into two integer variables y and x. Return -1, -1 if this window has no parent.

window.getmaxyx() Return a tuple (y, x) of the height and width of the window.

window.getkey([y, x]) Get a character, returning a string instead of an integer, as getch() does. Function keys, keypad keys and other special keys return a multibyte string containing the key name. In no-delay mode, an exception is raised if there is no input.

window.getch([y, x]) Get a character. Note that the integer returned does not have to be in ASCII range: function keys, keypad keys and so on return numbers higher than 256. In no-delay mode, -1 is returned if there is no input, else getch() waits until a key is pressed.

window.getbkgd() Return the given window’s current background character/attribute pair.
