How is the Windows support in Ratatui? I recently developed something with a different library (also crossterm based) only to discover it did not work very well for my windows users and ended up having to build a GUI with Iced.

There’s a very real chance I just missed some initialization code that Ratatui might do out of the box that the other library was not.

Edit: Issues experienced by windows users were no colors, terminal flashing on every keypress, all keypresses registered as double.

Edit2: This miniature rant inspired me to go back to the commit and submit a patch to eliminate the event reporting on KeyUp and enable terminal colors.



I use gitui on Windows and it is amazing, though mostly from a git bash shell.


I’d definitely use something like this too, but don’t have the luxury of telling my end users to.

They’re very nontechnical.
