Terminal (xterm) handling package for Go

Terminal handling for Go

This repo contains packages allowing pseudo-graphical terminal control for xterms (perhaps similar to curses, except only targetting xterms and probably only 1% of its functionality).

Keyboard package

Provides simple keypress recognition, for example shift+enter or left arrow. Allows for UTF-8 rune input. Turns off screen echo.

Possible future TODO items:

• investigate key up / key down events
• maybe echo mode would help with readline?

Screen package

Buffered screen output, allowing full RGB foreground/background control on a character-by-character basis.

Possible future TODO items:

• GUI / widget library

Other TODO items

• readline
