    For making TUIs in Nim, there's Illwill. I've played around with it a bit, and it seems pretty nice. For editing id3 tags, there's the Metatag library. I haven't tried it myself though.

    Ooh, more Norwegians using Nim? I had a look in the issues of Illwill and came across this: https://github.com/johnnovak/illwill/issues/14. Seems like there is a library of widgets and he has created a simple text input one that you could possibly modify to suit your needs (or just use outright). Not sure if it will support UTF-8 characters though, and I'm on my phone at my cabin right now so can't really check.
