[BUG] Keypresses shows up as characters in the Pyradio window.

[RappScallion73]

Describe the bug

When pressing any of keyboard shortcuts available in Pyradio the input shows up as actual characters in the Pyradio UI. E.g if I press +/- to increase/decrease the volume the actual characters +/- show up in the UI (see screenshot). However the functions still work. Seems to affect all keypress such as t for themes etc.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Start pyradio and stream some radio.
2. Press + or - to increase or decrease the volume. Try other keyboard shortcuts as well.
3. See the input show up as characters.

Expected behavior
I expect the shortcut function to work without any actual input showing in the UI.

System (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows 11
• Python version: 3.13.3
• pipx version (if applicable):
• pipx installation method: System dependent / Fully isolated
• PyRadio Version: 0.9.3.11.13
• Player used: mpv

Additional context
Just wanna say that I love pyradio. Thank you for developing it. :)

Hi @RappScallion73

I have seen that myself, but since I never had an issue report about it, I just thought it was my windows VM glitching...

I will look into it!

Glad to hear it, let me know if you need to me to test or check anything.

[s-n-g]

ok, I think i got it

In order to test it, you will have to edit the code

Here's what you do

1. execute pyraio and press \ο
2. select "Code Directory" and press ENTER; this will open a File Explorer window.
3. find a file named radio.py and open it in a text editor
4. search for curses.curs_set
5. add a line below: curses.noecho()
   Make sure you use spaces only to allign the line (no tabs)
6. save the file
7. execute pyraio and verify

Here's an image to help you out

I just noticed: you will find curses.curs_set twice

So, go on and edit both occurrences 😉

[RappScallion73]

Yay! Yes, that worked. No input in the UI after adding those two lines and making sure there were no tabs. Nicely done s-n-g.

Great!
Fixed in devel

I will keep this one open until a release is out!
Thank you for reporting it!
Cheers!
