    I think a lot of Ratatui apps will tend to land on similar concepts for your app. There's a few good examples of apps using a component approach rather than just widgets that I'm aware of:

    - https://github.com/sxyazi/yazi

    - https://github.com/TaKO8Ki/gobang

    - https://github.com/nomadiz/edma

    Perhaps the intuitive crate would make a good abstraction on top of Ratatui?

    Thank you for your appreciation!

    In fact, `G` and `gg` are already supported in Yazi. You just need to set `arrow -999` for `gg`, and `arrow 999` for `G`. I've added it to the default keybindings: https://github.com/sxyazi/yazi/commit/c540542da49004a3084b1d...

    The enhanced find/filter feature has been noted in the Feature Requests (https://github.com/sxyazi/yazi/issues/51), and I will make an effort to implement it soon. Of course, PRs welcome if possible :)

    There are apps that are built on ratatui that support mouse already including an example in the repo[1], and crates (and some internal changes to the buffer) to support iterm/kitty/sixel based images.[2]

    [2]: https://crates.io/crates/ratatui-image

    Compared to TurboVision, Ratatui has a lot of missing things:

    - Containers

    - Dialog types (I'm working on this in https://github.com/joshka/tui-prompts)

    - Higher order combinations of widgets (e.g. combine the scrollbar and paragraph)

    - Menus

    - Any event system (apps bring their own - we just handle display)

    - etc.

    - There's lots of things in TV that are provided as external crates (like editors, treeview, etc.)

    The main thing is that Ratatui is at least right now, just the display side of things. Things to do with events or application shell aren't built-in. This somewhat stems from the immediate vs retained mode approach to the library, but this may change in the future.
