If it does this then it is heading into GUI application territory. I wonder if an existing GUI application could be extended to add command-line features to end up at the same place. Or does such a thing already exist? This might even be a faster way to get to this goal.
- tatterdemalion 11y agoAn important distinction the README doesn't really express is that any features like this are tied to the position of the text cursor inside the character grid, not to the position of the mouse (though of course they may accept mouse commands similar to how xterm does). They are GUI-like, but they are the sort of GUI-like things that programs like vim and emacs already emulate all the time.
