It works with // both common (and many uncommon!) terminals or terminal emulators, // and Windows console implementations. // // It provides support for up to 256 colors, text attributes, and box drawing // elements. A database of terminals built from a real terminfo database // is provided, along with code to generate new database entries. // // Tcell offers very rich support for mice, dependent upon the terminal // of course. (Windows, XTerm, and iTerm 2 are known to work very well.) // // If the environment is not Unicode by default, such as an ISO8859 based // locale or GB18030, Tcell can convert input and outupt, so that your // terminal can operate in whatever locale is most convenient, while the // application program can just assume "everything is UTF-8". Reasonable // defaults are used for updating characters to something suitable for // display. Unicode box drawing characters will be converted to use the // alternate character set of your terminal, if native conversions are // not available. If no ACS is available, then some ASCII fallbacks will // be used. // // A rich set of keycodes is supported, with support for up to 65 function // keys, and various other special keys. // package tcell
