Terminal handling for Go
This repo contains packages allowing pseudo-graphical terminal control for xterms (perhaps similar to curses, except only targetting xterms and probably only 1% of its functionality).
Keyboard package
Provides simple keypress recognition, for example shift+enter or left arrow. Allows for UTF-8 rune input. Turns off screen echo.
Possible future TODO items:
- investigate key up / key down events
- maybe echo mode would help with readline?
Screen package
Buffered screen output, allowing full RGB foreground/background control on a character-by-character basis.
Possible future TODO items:
- GUI / widget library
Other TODO items
- readline
