Definitely. Reach out to me or magiblot if you ever need any help. I love this stuff, and magiblot is extremely responsive. They have helped me many times and even made changes to tvision to support my use cases. As a stretch goal, you might try to integrate https://github.com/magiblot/turbo too. This is a Scintilla-based text editor control implemented in tvision. We worked together to make it embeddable in other programs (because I wanted it in mine). Example usage: https://github.com/tmbasic/tmbasic/blob/master/src/tmbasic/C... Also, I assume you know about the Turbo Vision Pascal and C++ books. They're really helpful. I transcribed both books to Markdown for easy searching if you want it.

Yes, Scintilla is a text editor engine library. It's not tied to any particular UI or technology. Out of the box it's not a text editor yet; you provide the frontend. You get all the "table stakes" right away if you build your editor on this library. Here's Scintilla driving a TUI text editor: https://github.com/magiblot/turbo Here's Scintilla driving a custom GUI control (not the system text control): https://github.com/desjarlais/Scintilla.NET Same engine, different frontends. The engine has a series of hooks that you implement in whichever way you please for your particular interface. It's definitely the presumptive choice here.

Have you seen tvision[0] and turbo[1]? [0] https://github.com/magiblot/tvision [1] https://github.com/magiblot/turbo

yesterday I posted a link to another text editor - Turbo https://github.com/magiblot/turbo which is built using Turbo Vision framework

Turbo - editor made using TurboVision, with support for Unicode: https://github.com/magiblot/turbo

Show them this, too: https://github.com/magiblot/turbo Applications like tvedit were designed for MS-DOS, which offered full interaction with the mouse and keyboard, and many of them were commercial products aimed at a general audience. TUI applications from the Unix tradition, however, were designed for use in terminals with limited capabilities, and were aimed at more technical users (or were created by the users themselves). User-friendly TUI applications in MS-DOS were succeeded by Windows applications, while the largest revolution in the last 20 years in Unix TUIs has been the widespread support of 256/24-bit colors and UTF-8. Hence the gap in usability between the two worlds.
