Description

This module implements a Terminal Emulator. It's meant to be connected to a PTY. Once done, it will read the data stream the child sends and update it's virtual model of a terminal accordingly. It tries to mimic XTerm and is thus best used with TERM=xterm in the environment.

Currently many features are missing, but enough is implemented to get simple CLI programs working and not fail too hard with TUI apps. Vim mostly works.
