Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/asciinema/asciinema/issues/254

asciinema rec -h says:

--stdin enable stdin recording, disabled by default

However, when recording with asciinema rec one.cast, the recorded file contains:

[4.426335, "i", "e"]
[4.427224, "o", "e"]
[4.665514, "i", "x"]
[4.666192, "o", "x"]
[4.826479, "i", "i"]
[4.826958, "o", "i"]
[4.938407, "i", "t"]
[4.938787, "o", "t"]

indicating that stdin recoring is enabled by default. If this will be remaining for the final asciinema v2.0 release, there should be an option shown by the -h flag showing how to disable it.

@KurtPfeifle are you sure you don't have stdin = yes in [rec] section of your config file?

@sickill:

Sorry, I cannot re-check on the same system. It was a VM which I had to delete due to space problems.

However, I suspect your guess was a very educated one: I checked again on two other systems, and could not reproduce the issue there.
