Termion VS textual

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.

The Textual project has a lot of screenshots in its documentation. These screenshots are built with the docs, so they are always up to date.

Textual[0] does this for CLI apps. That’s not for full GUI apps, but it’s very DOM-like, uses CSS selectors, etc. and a cool option when it meets your needs.

For future projects that need a TUI beyond normal printing to a terminal, I'd recommend taking a look at Textual.

`less -R` is not the default.

FWIW, textual (and urwid) does ANSII escape codes well: https://github.com/Textualize/textual

  touch file$'\n'name

After installing logmerger, you can run a self-contained demo by running logmerger --demo, to view two log files before and after they are merged, and to play with the user-interface features provided by textual.

I think it just survived naturally, filling in the cracks left by Java / C++.

And not the era of Textual (https://textual.textualize.io/) is here, python may get the spotlight even more.
