Extra notes:
As you probably noticed, there were no significant changes in NppExec since 2022.
In fact, I would love NppExec to behave similarly to e.g. VS Code’s Terminal window that looks and feels pretty much as a native console, but to achieve that, it requires too much time for investigations and development that I’m not ready to invest.
Actually, I had already tried to deal with ANSI escape codes and so-called Pseudo Console in a separate branch:
https://github.com/d0vgan/nppexec/tree/feature/pseudo-console
but it did not provide a stable behavior that would be worth to continue with.
Another potential way is to integrate a libvterm library into NppExec and see whether it gives better results. One might open the NppExec’s sources in a code editor with AI-driven assistant - such as the Cursor editor - and explicitly ask the AI assistant about the integration with libvterm. NppExec already contains the parts of the code around g_pseudoCon and m_hPseudoCon as the starting point.
If someone feels the power to do that, this would be highly welcome and I’ll provide the additional technical details.
