tui-cs/Terminal.Gui

Terminal.Gui is a cross-platform .NET library for building interactive terminal-based user interfaces. It provides a comprehensive suite of UI controls, including text and code editors, data grids, and complex layouts, all rendered via ANSI escape sequences or raster graphics protocols. The system features a modernized, instance-based application model with robust input handling for keyboard and mouse events, alongside advanced drawing primitives for colors, gradients, and Unicode text.

This period marks the comprehensive rewrite of Terminal.Gui into version 2, introducing an instance-based application model, a modernized input and command system, and a declarative layout engine. The codebase was significantly expanded with new UI components, including graph and table views, while the configuration and drawing subsystems were refactored for AOT compatibility and performance.

This period focused on a comprehensive refactoring of the terminal input and output subsystems, introducing new abstraction layers for keyboard, mouse, and screen rendering. The work established a modernized, testable architecture for handling console interactions and visual updates, supported by extensive unit and integration tests. Additionally, the codebase expanded to support advanced features like raster image rendering and Markdown display.
