Another terminal text editor based on Scintilla

[magiblot]

Hi Mitchell,

I'm writing to you because I see you still maintain Scinterm. Last summer I tried to use Scintilla in a terminal application as an experiment, and this was the result: https://github.com/magiblot/turbo.

Scinterm was an important source of inspiration for me to understand how Scintilla worked and to figure out how to get it to do what I needed. So I wanted to thank you personally.

The Turbo text editor relies on a separate framework for the user interface, so it does not need to hardcode the location of UI elements nor deal with terminal capabilities. In other words, the class that specializes ScintillaBase does not have the responsibility of controlling the UI. Hopefully it may serve you as a source of inspiration as well.

Cheers.

Hi Magiblot, thanks for reaching out and for the kind words. I saw Turbo a month ago and noticed you had effectively written a new platform for Scintilla. Nice work!
