Crossterm allows better event handling.
It allows simple filtering of key modifiers (ctrl, alt, shift).

This will let us do better input mapping.

You can submit your crazy ideas :-)

ALL IN ONE, UNLIMITED!

goals below may be too many, but we can do it one by one

After I using vim, I wonder why can't we use ESC, v, y, p in bash shell

then, I found it has an weak pseudo-vi mode in bash shell, only work in current line(INPUT AREA) with limited function.

It can't even select or copy text returned by some command!

what if we can use single ONE consistent key mapping in operating all text in screen, shell, editor to switch different modes and move, select, delete, copy...

what if we defined

• Shift-ESC targeting on Chars showed on SCREEN
• ESC targeting on Chars showed on current line(input area of SHELL

also this program support detect, reprocess status of keys. 
    Including 3 status: tap, hold, release of a key can emit different function(e.g. key remapping , text crud, cursor moving, window switch)
    Including sequence, concurrency of many keys
    Including condition depending on which app or which time

everything is programmable, not only text, but also your operations of keyboard can determine all behavior of keyboards, screen chars, time, your most frequent functions of your works!

Every crazy thing start on the your tap, start with UNLIMITED!

=====================================================================================================

more detail examples

basic models:    screen
        handle screen session or windows or panes
            including in Chromium, MPV, Terminal... IN USING SAME PATTERN OF KEY MAPPING!

What if you remap CapsLock into ESC, Ctrl and Capslock depending on when you are tapping and releasing it, holding it and holding it with Enter.

What if you wanna copy some text returned by shell: "Command 'unlimited' not found, but can be installed with: sudo apt install unlimited # version 1.2.3", JUST by tapping Shift-ESC, k, yy, p? and UNLIMITED is installed now!

What if you wanna PageUp long long text returned by a command in SHELL by tappingShift-ESC, Alt-V instead Ctrl-Shift-Up ?(Key Up-arrow is too far away your finger while Alt is convenient for your big finger)?

What if you wanna Shift-Tab in a reverse direction?

What if you wanna Ctrl-W to open a new window for web browser?

The job of remapping or programming on keys is done either by remapping-keys tool or other programs. The advantage of ALL IN ONE is that the daemon will program your operations on keyboards across Programs!Thus if you select a word, after v, e, the operation could pop a dict in the corner of screen and show the meaning of the word and pronounce it automatically. Also if you select a word, after v, e and Ctrl-D, it will open browser and search this function in https://docs.rs. or if any puzzle, continue tap g to google it!

and if this program is done, it could detect `I'm writing github issue where there should exist a UNLIMITED help me typing! thus it will handle all my keyboard operation and all text of issues, reprocess to keys that the github issue support!"

You may wonder why not just typed in editor than copy to github issue? Because I wanna both of their power working together!!

When doing edits the view should track/display the modified area.

The editor should support very large files.

This is a cool project. Unfortunately I'm not sure how to search for text within a file. I tried pressing F1 to look at the help page, but didn't see it. Also, I was unable to scroll the F1 help page (not sure if there is a special keybinding for that).

The user interface must live in a separate thread from the core.
