Hi José,

Thanks for your contribution! The patch looks mostly good, see comments
inline.

I think this should go in 'terminals.scm' instead of a new file. We try
to categorize related programs together to keep the file count low.

Please move the "'(" to the next line so that the indentation matches
the start of the expression. Or move #:make-flags one line up and
re-indent the rest of the block, but I think starting the 'arguments' on
a new line looks better.

Are any of these inputs used at runtime and not just required for
building? If so, they should be a regular 'input' and not a
'native-input'. ncurses is usually linked as a library and thus needs to
match the target architecture.

See the 'package' reference in the Guix manual for more information:
https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/guix.html#package-Reference

Guix will often automatically detect whether inputs are runtime
dependencies. You can run `guix gc -R $(./pre-inst-env guix build
libtermkey)` to check which inputs are referenced by the built product.

The rest LGTM. Can you send an updated patch for 'terminals.scm'
addressing the above points? Thanks!
