• Global and view-level keybindings.
• Mouse support.
• Colored text.
• Customizable edition mode.
• Easy to build reusable widgets, complex layouts...

	if err != nil {
		log.Panicln(err)
	}
	defer g.Close()

	g.SetManagerFunc(layout)

	if err := g.SetKeybinding("", gocui.KeyCtrlC, gocui.ModNone, quit); err != nil {
		log.Panicln(err)
	}

	if err := g.MainLoop(); err != nil && err != gocui.ErrQuit {
		log.Panicln(err)
	}
}

func layout(g *gocui.Gui) error {
	maxX, maxY := g.Size()
	if v, err := g.SetView("hello", maxX/2-7, maxY/2, maxX/2+7, maxY/2+2); err != nil {
		if err != gocui.ErrUnknownView {
			return err
		}
		fmt.Fprintln(v, "Hello world!")
