1 Cross-platform terminal helper library in Racket🔗ℹ

This library currently supports unix and windows. Mac OS is supported implicitly via posix compatibility. Explicit testing is done one Ubuntu and development is done on Windows and WSL.

2 Exported functions🔗ℹ

• "(enable-raw)" - Platform specifically enables raw (aka non-canonical) mode.

• "(disable-raw)" - Platform specifically disables raw mode. This currently needs to be called after "enable-raw" to restore the saved terminal state.

• "(with-raw expr*)" - evaluates the exprs in the context of raw mode (recommended approach).

• "(move-cursor-x x)", "(move-cursor-y y)", and "(move-cursor x y)" move the cursor relatively by "x", "y", or "x" and "y" respectively.

• "(set-cursor x y)" sets the cursor position to the "x" column and "y" row.

• "(show-cursor)" and "(hide-cursor)" show and hide the cursor respectively.

• "(set-color-style #:fg-style fg-color #:bg-style bg-color)" sets the color style for the terminal going forward. The foreground and background are optional keywords and colors are exported as "fg-color", "bg-color", "fg-bright-color", and "bg-bright-color".

• "(clear-screen)" clears the screen.
