You can't anymore (you could up until 2.4.1, but the new input system is
fundamentally incompatible with it). `ncdirect_readline()` still exists,
though, and now actually works even without libreadline, though it is of
course not exactly libreadline. In any case, you'd probably be better off
using CLI mode with a < code > ncreader< / code > .

< summary > So is Direct Mode deprecated or what?< / summary >
It is not currently deprecated, and definitely receives bugfixes. You are
probably better served using CLI mode (see above), which came about
somewhat late in Notcurses development (the 2.3.x series), but is superior
to Direct Mode in pretty much every way. The only reason to use Direct
Mode is if you're going to have other programs junking up your display.

Direct mode is < i > substantially slower< / i > than rendered mode. Rendered
mode assumes it knows what's on the screen, and uses this information to
generate optimized sequences of escapes and glyphs. Direct mode writes
everything it's told to write. It is furthermore far less capable—all
widgets etc. are available only to rendered mode, and will definitely
not be extended to Direct Mode.
