getch() retrieves only one character at a time.

If I press two keys (Eg: UP_ARROW followed by LEFT_ARROW without leaving
UP_ARROW) then I get 259 (UP_ARROW) followed by 260 (LEFT_ARROW).

However if I release them, getch() doesn't return any keycode.

Could someone please explain how multiple key strokes can be handled in ncurses?
