This has come up once or twice as there aren't many good libraries for writing cross-platform terminal applications. To my surprise, recent versions of Windows Console support xterm-like caps if you put the console in a special mode. Initializing the console, reading and writing to it, and handling resize events are different but everything else is the same.
wcwidth
isn't available, so everything is assumed to occupy 1 column.I haven't tested anything besides the keyboard demo, which seems to work just fine.
The ifdefs ugly up the code a lot, so I'm hesitant to actually merge this. I may attempt to code-gen a separate artifact
termbox2-win.h
or something. Feedback welcome.
