  • mibu vs. SuperZIG/io Terminal Module

    Feature	mibu	SuperZIG/io Terminal Module
    Platform Support	Linux only	Cross Platform – Supports Linux, Windows, and macOS
    API Usability	Provides a limited set of functionalities; the API can be more complex and less intuitive	Offers a comprehensive and easy-to-use API with clear, well-documented functions (e.g., listenUntil, listenUntilWith)
    Key Event Handling	Covers basic terminal input handling	Robust event handling supporting modifiers (Ctrl, Alt, Shift), Unicode (e.g., Arabic, English, etc.), and simultaneous key detection (e.g., Ctrl+Alt+Up)
    Documentation	Minimal documentation and examples	Detailed documentation with examples and extensive testing
    Extensibility	Basic functionality with limited scope	Modular design with separate sub-modules (info, settings, ansi, cli, events, and upcoming prompts) enabling future expansion

    SuperZIG/io Terminal Module aims to provide a powerful, yet intuitive solution for terminal input handling across multiple platforms. While mibu offers a baseline solution for Linux environments, our library delivers a more complete and flexible experience with support for modern features like Unicode input and advanced modifier detection.
