There's actually 1 parts 2 this, I ran into the 2nd while  testing the 
first...

I wanted to be able to check the keyboard if the user had 'typed' ahead,
and mean to answer an upcoming question on purpose or if it was left 
over from a previous
y/n single input response.

I wanted to do a
  read -t 0.01 pre_ans

just before my read to see if there was input already available and 
scarf it up..
initially just to 'flush the buffer', but later with the intent of 
asking if that
was what they meant, and to just accept the type ahead...  (didn't want 
to take
a key press accidently doubled as input to a next command, but wanted to 
allow it
to enable it if that was desired).

I wanted a way to be able to take any key I pre-read in, and put it back 
into the input
stream if the user wanted it done... I thought to use
the preload feature of readline, and load their key into the buffer if it
was a normal key (I wanted to be able to examine keys outside of the 
input stream,
basically)...


Well -- it didn't return until the user pressed a key -- so even with a 
key already
loaded, and a limit of 1, telling it to return upon 1 key in the buff, 
it still
didn't return until it got the 2nd key.

The thing is, if the user presses a key and doesn't erase the key 
presented, their
key is ignored.

So either 1) it should come back immediately because it already has the 
one key, or 2,
if the use presses a different key, then it should take that key.


II -- while testing the above, .. found a more annoying bug --

if you use read -N 1,

on future lines that I would 'edit' (in vimode), CR would be entered as 
input , but would
not recognized as 'enter line'... only ^j worked actually execute the 
line...

The terminal wasn't in 'raw' mode... output was unchanged, just that CR 
was no longer
taken for entry.   erase and such still worked normally...


I did an output of stty -a of a working window and a non working one, 
the settings
are the same!

It is repeatable
