You should try some modern terminals fx.: - Contour https://github.com/contour-terminal/contour https://github.com/contour-terminal/contour - Wezterm https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/ https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/ Both fast terminals with modern features and cross platform. Also checkout Notcurses: https://notcurses.com/ https://notcurses.com/ Here is a video of the Notcurses demo running in a terminal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcjkezf1ARY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcjkezf1ARY

Um. I am not sure if you appreciate the difference. AIUI, those are terminal emulators. Programs that let you attach to a text session on the same or another computer. Terminal emulators are programs that emulate terminals. "Terminals" are a type of hardware. A screen and a keyboard that attach over RS232 serial links, running at maybe 9600 bits per second -- a really fast one might do, ooh, 19200bps -- to a computer. They can only display text. (Graphical terminals existed but cost as much as a quite nice car at the time, and so remained rare.) The clever thing in this WordPerfect version can display a "graphical" print preview on a text-only terminal. This is trivially easy in software, but a pretty amazing feat of coding on dedicated hardware.
