What problem does it solve?

Developers need a structured, high-level toolkit for creating, extending, and debugging terminal-based user interfaces in Common Lisp, avoiding manual low-level terminal control.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • UI Construction: Build complex terminal applications using window, panel, and form abstractions.
  • Event Handling: Implement keybindings, mouse interactions, and resize responsiveness.
  • Component Layout: Organize screens with grids, layouts, menus, and dialogs.
  • Styled Output: Use colors, borders, and shapes to enhance visual clarity.
  • Concurrency & Thread Safety: Safely update the UI from SLIME or background threads via queueing.
  • Module & Source Routing: Use source maps and API indexes to navigate implementation details.

Quick Start

Use with-screen to start a terminal UI, bind keys with bind, and run the event loop with run-event-loop for interactive applications.
