Lambda-term is a cross-platform library for manipulating the terminal. It provides an abstraction for keys, mouse events, colors, as well as a set of widgets to write curses-like applications. The main objective of lambda-term is to provide a higher level functional interface to terminal manipulation than, for example, ncurses, by providing a native OCaml interface instead of bindings to a C library. Lambda-term integrates with zed to provide text edition facilities in console applications.
