All in the title!

I'm seeking a way to write a console app that isn't just asking questions one line after another with putStr and getLine. More something like Vim or Emacs when they're in the terminal (i don't wanna create a text ed, but it's the kind of programs i'm seeking to write: which takes up all the space on the screen, where you can write at many different places, and keyboard-driven, up to why not mouse- too, if the terminal (and haskell bindings) allow it.

I suppose ncurses [1] would do, or other curses packages! [1] https://hackage.haskell.org/package/ncurses
