'termo' is a library providing an alternative to ncurses' handling of terminal
input. ncurses does a really terrible job at that, mainly wrt. mouse support
which seems to be utterly broken. If you can drag things in a terminal
application, such as in VIM, I can assure you it's not using ncurses for that.

input. ncurses does a terrible job at that, mainly wrt. mouse support which was
even completely broken for a few years, making it impossible to drag things
around in applications. While that one bit has been fixed, it continues to lack
support for rxvt-unicode's 1015 mode and it's generally incapable of relaying
certain key combinations.
Since terminal I/O is really complicated and full of special cases, this project
doesn't aspire to also replace the output part of ncurses, but is rather
complementary to it. In the end it makes use of its terminfo library.

The API can be considered stable. This project is in maintenance mode.
