In addition to vty, here are a couple of higher-level (I think) libraries in the same vein:

Look at the `vty` library which is similar in essence to (n)curses.

It looks you manipulate the terminal's cursor, with different color and modes.

I think it even has minimal widgets.

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.

So, does anyone know any library to do this? Any tutorial, maybe? I'm seeking for hours, but every time i type stuff like "console application haskell" in google, it just gives me irrelevant answers --as is the trend it seems subjectively, of those last months, with our bestest G-friend. :(

thanks a lot in advance for anything! _______________________________________________ Beginners mailing list Beginners@haskell.org http://mail.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/beginners

I suppose ncurses [1] would do, or other curses packages!
