Mist: ANSI Friendly Terminal Toolkit

Community Showcase
1

Hello everyone! I’ve recently refactored mist to be more of a terminal manipulation library. It includes everything from text styling to parsing terminal events.

Short list of features:

  • Text styling (emphasis and coloring)
  • ANSI Aware text transformations (padding, indent, dedent, wrapping, etc.)
  • Terminal control (alternate screen buffer, focus tracking, mouse capture, screen/session state, cursor manipulation support)
  • Convenient TTY context manager
  • Terminal Event Parsing (Key Events, Focus Gain/Lost, Bracketed Paste, Mouse Events)

Please check out the README for more information on the features available! I created this project to learn more about TUI development and saw how deep the rabbit hole really goes. There’s a lot of differences between different terminal emulators, so I’m always open to PRs and to learn more about the topic.

Awesome! Let me know how it goes. I’ll be opening up a PR to get the latest version into the modular-community channel soon.

I’ve added a few TUI examples leveraging mist for terminal control and mog for terminal styling.

There are gifs of them in action here: GitHub - thatstoasty/banjo: Mojo termios via libc
