There are no escape sequences when running TUI apps in DOS. They have direct memory access to the video card.

>> This is just delusional.

That is a bit uncalled for.

Did you just not read the rest of my post?

We are not talking about DOS, we are talking about "modern" TUIs you would use on a modern Linux/Windows/MacOS system.

I even made that explicit in my first paragraph.

		Windows NT has a native console API that every non-Cygwin program used until a few years ago, when Microsoft finally implemented terminal emulation. See, for example, https://github.com/vim/vim/blob/e7c765fe5997daa845222351e114.... It’s just that there is little interest in TUIs from Windows users.

		I don't think others are talking about what you are angry about. I said that with the first reply and I'm not the only one saying it. Nobody is trying to take Zed or Neovim away from you. By the way one of the most frequent modern TUI apps that I use is Midnight Commander. It's a very nice app, which I use mostly when I SSH into a remote machine to manage it. Is there a 2D accelerated GUI that can help me do the same?
