Crossterm Cursor

The crossterm_cursor crate is deprecated and no longer maintained. The GitHub repository will be archived soon. All the code is being moved to the crossterm crate. You can learn more in the Merge sub-crates to the crossterm crate issue.

This crate allows you to work with the terminal cursor. It supports all UNIX and Windows terminals down to Windows 7 (not all terminals are tested, see the Tested Terminals for more info).

crossterm_cursor is a sub-crate of the crossterm crate. You can use it directly, but it's highly recommended to use the crossterm crate with the cursor feature enabled.
