should have a "was_modified" parameter - if false, do NOT rewrite the entirety of the buffer. instead, only print the new elements.

that brings another question: void wb_write(instance *current, const char *str, int index); is fine but only appends. what if we need to WRITE instead?

whitespace should not be considered as "words" but at least appear in the array, so it can be used and printed.

thread 2 (in charge of mouse events) is going slower, which is an issue for the set_active functions. it will prompt the new active window after having printed the window + the box, voiding the effect of the click

suggested: mutex for an access_writing variable + condition if it is on TRUE.

(sorry, gitkraken mistake)
the way the buffer flushes (word by word) is ineffective since we need to apply an offset. however, the offset would need to cut the word, there's 2 solutions

1. rewrite it all, but i don't know yet how i would do that
2. write a "get_word_by_offset" function

please review and delete if necessary the window-rework branch as it's not active anymore
(this issue is merely a reminder for myself when i get the time)

might need another variable in t_buff so we can keep the scroll level registered; then, checking if a specific window needs scroll (or has scroll available) and getting the key event to see if user wishes to process the hidden text.

this could lead to another idea that is unselecting windows - if we click on the selected window, we remove the selection and go back to the initial state. that way, some events that are shared between windows can occur (such as scrolls on all windows)
