§Shadow Terminal
A fully-functional, fully-rendered terminal purely in memory.
Useful for terminal multiplexers (a la tmux, zellij) and end to end testing TUI
applications.
There are 2 convenience modules for using this library: [ActiveTerminal] and
[SteppableTerminal]. The former is run in a thread and can only be interacted with through
channels, it’s aimed more towards real world applications. Whilst the latter must be stepped
through and is aimed more at end to end testing.
The underlying [ShadowTerminal] is also designed to be used directly, but requires a bit
more setup. See ActiveTerminal and SteppableTerminal to see how.
