Support for the new Windows Terminal? #612

Open gonza2323 opened 2 months ago

gonza2323 commented 2 months ago

Hi,

I understand that the library doesn't support the old cmd.exe terminal. But can it work with the new Windows Terminal? From what I could gather, it supports ANSI escape sequences, and I can run lanterna apps just fine with it when using WSL.

If you run your application in WSL, then it is essentially a Linux application running under some specific "Linux-flavour".

The ANSI escape codes are one thing, but we still rely on stty to some extent for modifying things like echo and special characters. Not sure if there's a way to do that with the window terminal without using native library integration.

Ah ok, I understand, thank you, The current native integration is for the old console, right?

Yes, it's using JNI and calls the standard system calls (GetConsoleMode, SetConsoleMode, etc).
