Describe the feature

I want the standed ncurses function like getch, initscr and ETC

Use Case

I want to make a command line interface and the internal term.ui library didn't have many function for example getch.

Proposed Solution

Create a library that have the ncurses C binding. Note: I actually stuck here because I don't know what will ncurses's function return.

The regular term module (not term.ui) has functions as well, such as https://modules.vlang.io/term.html#utf8_getchar

ncurses does not have windows implementation afaik

I believe anyone from the community can make the bindings.

ncurses does not have windows implementation afaik

But the python3 have it working, according to the python docs Windows use something called UniCurses

According to the UniCurses page, it is a Python wrapper around PDCurses lib... neither of which is native to Windows (as in, it doesn't come with the OS).

But maybe someone can make a module and when installing the module, it auto detect the os and install the correct deps.

Perhaps someone could, if they wanted to do so.

How about using https://github.com/Bill-Gray/PDCursesMod ?

And maybe https://github.com/dankamongmen/notcurses ?
