The windows console automatically moves the whole buffer up by one if you write to the last char at the bottom-right.
I had this painful experience while having made a program on my Linux PC, then switched over to my laptop, which runs Windows because it's no use running Linux in a very Microsoft-ey environment (school), and notice it not working. Writing everything but the last char when I'm on the last line fixed my issues.
Meanwhile, no terminal on Linux did this shit.
Trying to write a program a la `man` in ncurses and just, is this hell?
I just want a floating header, a scrollable main body that reads from a file, and a command line footer, why is that so difficult? I finally got it to handle resizing terminals but now I need to try to compile it for windows, which does have unofficial ports of ncurses, but I have no idea how to use them.
Should I just restrict the windows version to a non-interactive command instead of a TUI like I want?
