I thought OBV/2 relied on Cold Keys. I was going to do something like this:

```
//
// OBV/2-style input WITHOUT Cold Keys
// This overrides shell_lib's getkey/getcmd behavior
//
function getcmd() {
    console.line_counter = 0;

    while (bbs.online && !js.terminated) {
        let ch = console.inkey(K_NONE, 5);
        if (!ch)
            continue;

        // Arrow keys
        if (ch === '\x1b') {
            let next = console.inkey(K_NONE, 50);
            if (next === '[') {
                let arrow = console.inkey(K_NONE, 50);
                switch (arrow) {
                    case 'A': return "UP";
                    case 'B': return "DOWN";
                    case 'C': return "RIGHT";
                    case 'D': return "LEFT";
                }
            }
        }

        // Slash commands
        if (ch === '/') {
            let second = console.getkey(K_UPPER);
            return "/" + second;
        }

        // Normal hotkeys
        if (/[A-Za-z0-9]/.test(ch))
            return ch.toUpperCase();

        if (ch === '\r')
            return "ENTER";

        return ch;
    }

    return null;
}
```
