Having thought about this, I don't think it would be a good idea. Terminals are restrictive for more reasons than their keyboard input, tbh. I've been working on a minimalist UTF-8 library for the editor, based on Plan 9's libutf, except designed for native Unix, with support for Unicode beyond the Basic Multilingual Plane, and without the vulnerabilities on 64-bit systems. I'm not sure if I should release it separately as well? Thanks, cls
