nfd-rs VS Termion

For specifically file dialogs, you don't actually need to have an iced component for that. You can have a button with an onclick of something like nfd. Iced at the moment does not support multiple windows though. I'm unsure of menubar stuff.

After getting my base window up, I was smooth sailing! Very nice to use, will definitely be using again for my next project that requires a gui. I ended up using nfd for file selection which worked seamlessly with egui.

This is an example from the Termion crate:

There are plenty of terminal UI libraries that are actually nice to work with. For Python, there's Textual and PyTermGUI. For Rust, there's ratatui and Cursive (or, if you want something a bit lower level, crosster or termion). For Go, there's bubbletea.

But let's say I want to write to Termion's raw terminal: stdout().into_raw_mode().unwrap();

And I implemented it for a TermWriter struct (Note: DetectCursorPos comes from the Termion crate):

The following code stores the user input and cursor position in a raw terminal (using Termion):

That being said, termion has already handle this for us (an example).

I'm trying to recreate the Backspace functionality with Termion in raw mode. Right now, it works as expected if I'm deleting the last character. But If I move to the left with the Left arrow, then delete a character, the characters on the right of the cursor won't move to the left.

Termion crate (https://crates.io/crates/termion), and very careful observation of a rust error. Hope your friend finds it useful ;)

If you just need basic printing and limited input then I'd choose either crossterm or termion. If you want a full tui, then tui-rs is really good.
