Text-based user interface library (TUI) Evolved from the discontinued project pyCuT and inspired by a mix of Qt5,GTK, and tkinter api definition with a touch of personal interpretation
Features
- Basic widgets for TUI development (Button, Label, checkbox, ...)
- Specialized widgets to improve the usability (Windows, Frames, Tables, ...)
- QT Like Layout system to help arrange the widgets in the terminal
- True color support
- [TBD] Fullsize/Halfsize UTF-8 characters
Limitations
- The native Windows porting is not ready yet but it works with Cygwin or WSL.
- Only the key combinations forwarded by the terminal emulator used are detected (ALT,CTRL may not be handled)
