use_default_colors() Class Public methods tells the curses library to use terminal's default colors. see also the system manual for default_colors(3)

ungetmouse(p1) Class Public methods It pushes a KEY_MOUSE event onto the input queue, and associates with that event the given state data and screen-relative character-cell coordinates. The ::ungetmouse function behaves analogously to ::ungetch.

ungetch(ch) Class Public methods Places ch back onto the input queue to be returned by the next call to ::getch. There is just one input queue for all windows.

timeout=(delay) Class Public methods Sets block and non-blocking reads for the window. If delay is negative, blocking read is used (i.e., waits indefinitely for input). If delay is zero, then non-blocking read is used (i.e., read returns ERR if no input is waiting). If delay is positive, then read blocks for delay milliseconds, and returns ERR if there is still no input.

stdscr() Class Public methods The Standard Screen. Upon initializing curses, a default window called stdscr, which is the size of the terminal screen, is created. Many curses functions use this window.

start_color() Class Public methods Initializes the color attributes, for terminals that support it. This must be called, in order to use color attributes. It is good practice to call it just after ::init_screen

standout() Class Public methods Enables the best highlighting mode of the terminal. This is equivalent to Curses:Window.attron(A_STANDOUT) see also Curses::Window#attrset additional information

standend() Class Public methods Enables the Normal display (no highlight) This is equivalent to ::attron see also Curses::Window#attrset for additional information.

setscrreg(top, bottom) Class Public methods Set a software scrolling region in a window. top and bottom are lines numbers of the margin. If this option and Curses.scrollok are enabled, an attempt to move off the bottom margin line causes all lines in the scrolling region to scroll one line in the direction of the first line. Only the text of the window is scrolled.

setpos(y, x) Class Public methods A setter for the position of the cursor, using coordinates x and y
