Ratatui: Build rich terminal user interfaces
Same for me, I would be much more motivated if there was something like textual for Rust. Given the capability of terminal emulators now I think Rust is lacking behind in the TUI field. Just checkout what can be done with something like notcurses

Io Uring
The broader world probably knows him best for the terminal handling library Notcurses[1] and a lot of telling terminal emulator authors to get their shit together.
I’ve had his grad-school project libtorque[2] (HotPar ’10), an event-handling and scheduling library, on my to-read list for years, but I can’t seem to figure out how it accomplishes the interesting things it does.

In XTerm, this (rightly) makes no difference. In Foot and Contour however, you still end up a line resp. a screen below where you started, if now with the correct horizontal position.
So it seems to me like what you want should work by default, except it doesn’t.
It should be possible to instead just treat the whole thing as a graphical overlay (by computing or directly asking for the character cell size, as Kirill Panov rightly admonishes me is possible with XTWINOPS) without touching the cursor; that’s what the “sixel scrolling” setting (DECSDM) is supposed to do. Then you can just manually move the cursor forward however many positions after you’re done drawing.
Except apparently the DEC manual (the VT330/340 one above) and DEC hardware contradict each other as to which setting of DECSDM (set or reset) corresponds to which scrolling state (enabled or disabled), and XTerm has implemented it according to the manual not the VT3xx[1,2,3]—then most other emulators followed suit[4]—then XTerm switched to following the hardware[5,6] (unless you and that’s what I’m seeing on my machine right now. So now you need to check if you’re on XTerm ≥ 369 or not[7]. If I’m reading the Notcurses code right, other terminals have followed suit[8].
Again, ouch.
P.S. It seems DEC had an internal doc for how their terminals should operate (DEC STD 070) [9]. It does not document DECSDM at all.

Sharing Saturday #453
Once I have finished documenting all of the existing API functions and structs, I will begin work on terminal rendering. While the API surface area will only be slightly increased (a single function to set some flags) the actual work will mean building a parallel renderer for both Linux and Windows. I will be looking into notcurses to see if it can make my life easier in this regard.

It can. See, for example, Notcurses:

A Guide to the Terminal, Console, and Shell
For those interested in learning more about terminal emulators and character graphics, checkout Nick Black's book Hacking the Planet (with Notcurses): A Guide to TUIs and Character Graphics[1].
While the overall focus of the book is on programming with Notcurses[2], the author shares a wealth of related info and history throughout its pages. Note also that Notcurses has evolved quite a bit since the book was written, but it's still a nice resource.
