add a new line symbol and tab symbol (\n, \t)

[MeyerBuaharon]

Can the package work with those symbols?

Currently, new line (\n) causes the input to be accepted and tab (\t) causes focus to move to other elements on the page (the default behavior for HTML inputs). If we add support for new line and tab, we'd have to change this current behavior. What is your use case for \n and \t?

Thank you for the quick response @jonmbake

The main idea is that we get from API a response that is usually viewed on a terminal. the text contain \n and \t to make it look more readable. When I asked about the symbols, it is more like if it can work as an output like that {text:"hello world\r\n this is a test \t\t"} and the terminal shows tabs and new line and such

[jonmbake]

From my testing, \n and \t is supported. Here's the test lineData:

const [lineData, setLineData] = useState([
    {type: LineType.Output, value: 'Welcome to the React Terminal UI Demo!'},
    {type: LineType.Output, value: "hello world\r\n this is a test \t\ttext after tab."},
  ]);

, which renders:

In https://github.com/jonmbake/react-terminal-ui/issues/23, we'll add support for rendering arbitrary HTML, which will add more flexibility in what can get rendered. E.g. you could render multiple paragraph (p) elements instead of \n.

Sounds great! Looking forward to it! and thank you for the help.
