Problem Installing Go Modules
Hi im using linux (distro: Fedora 37) and I dont i have problems with installing go modules. When i run the commands in terminal (bash) "go install github.com/gdamore/tcell/v2" it gives me this error: "go: 'go install' requires a version when current directory is not in a module Try 'go install github.com/gdamore/tcell/v2@latest' to install the latest version" So when I run the command: "go install github.com/gdamore/tcell/vs@latest" I get this error: "package github.com/gdamore/tcell/v2 is not a main package". Please someone help.

How to Create Console Screen Buffer in go?
Hi guys, I have fixed the problem. The problem was as stated: remove terminal behavior like when a key is pressed and held it does not work as needed. For example if I want to move character when user press key the player (character) will move one step then stops then move fast like text curser. The solution is not by using [Console Screen Buffer] the Tcell is enough, But the problem is caused by the way the input is read from the user as u/pekim says in comments it is a "Typical behaviour in most environments (not just Windows)". So to fix this you need to use windows API (w32) and read key using GetAsyncKeyState() that will fix the problem.

Need a TUI with multiline text input or good interactive CLI-interface style support
There's quite a variety of tui libraries in Go with all kinds of different tradeoffs. Likely you won't find one that does just exactly what you want (paren matching support seems particularly unlikely out of the box, dunno if you'll find something you can plug in). tview and the underlying, lower-level tcell may be useful. I see termbox mentioned a lot here though that looks more like a toolbox for building such things than a solution itself.

Results of the official Go survey
I've been using the gocui library for building apps that are too small for a full blown server based solution, but still need to capture text input and menu selection.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing tcell and gocui you can also consider the following projects:
bubbletea - A powerful little TUI framework 🏗
termui - Golang terminal dashboard
termbox-go - Pure Go termbox implementation
go-prompt - Building powerful interactive prompts in Go, inspired by python-prompt-toolkit.
notcurses - blingful character graphics/TUI library. definitely not curses.
Rich Interactive Widgets for Terminal UIs - Terminal UI library with rich, interactive widgets — written in Golang
tui-go
progressbar - A really basic thread-safe progress bar for Golang applications
