Really?  It fixes your first issue for me (data appears immediately
when the key is pressed) but obviously does nothing to give you the
special keys (ctrl, esc, etc) - not sure of a platform independent way
to get that, but there's bound to be one.

Are you on Windows?  Did you try inserting a 'flush'?
