Is it possible to listen for incoming keystrokes in a running nodejs script? If I use process.openStdin() and listen to its 'data' event then the input is buffered until the next newline, like so:

// stdin_test.js
var stdin = process.openStdin();
stdin.on('data', function(chunk) { console.log("Got chunk: " + chunk); });

Running this, I get:

$ node stdin_test.js
                <-- type '1'
                <-- type '2'
                <-- hit enter
Got chunk: 12

What I'd like is to see:

$ node stdin_test.js
                <-- type '1' (without hitting enter yet)
 Got chunk: 1

I'm looking for a nodejs equivalent to, e.g., getc in ruby

Is this possible?

input node.js stdin
