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 output, 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. // // Note that support for non-UTF-8 locales (other than C) must be enabled // by the application using RegisterEncoding() -- we don't have them all // enabled by default to avoid bloating the application unneccessarily. // (These days UTF-8 is good enough for almost everyone, and nobody should // be using legacy locales anymore.) Also, actual glyphs for various code // point will only be displayed if your terminal or emulator (or the font // the emulator is using) supports them. // // A rich set of keycodes is supported, with support for up to 65 function // keys, and various other special keys. // package tcell
