#+TITLE: cl-tty — Reusable Common Lisp Terminal UI Framework # cl-tty — Terminal UI Framework for Common Lisp
#+STARTUP: content
#+FILETAGS: :project:cl-tty:readme:
* cl-tty Pure CL terminal UI framework. No ncurses, no FFI, no external dependencies.
A reusable Common Lisp framework for building rich terminal user interfaces. ```lisp
Built on croatoan (ncurses) with Yoga for Flexbox layout. Provides a component (ql:quickload :cl-tty)
tree model with dirty-tracking, incremental rendering, layered keybinding,
theme engine, and full mouse support — the primitives needed to match the TUI
quality of Claude Code and OpenCode from Common Lisp.
** Why
Common Lisp has no reusable terminal UI framework at the level of Python's
Rich/prompt_toolkit or Go's Bubble Tea. Every CL project that wants a
terminal UI either builds ncurses from scratch or uses a text-only REPL.
cl-tty fills that gap — a component library with Flexbox layout, semantic
theming, layered keybinding, and full mouse support. Build a terminal UI once,
reuse it everywhere.
Terminal UIs also work over SSH. A Qt or browser-based UI requires a local
display. A cl-tty application runs remotely — same code, same components,
accessible from anywhere.
** Architecture
```
Application code (any CL project)
└── cl-tty (layout, components, theme, events, dialogs)
└── Yoga (Flexbox layout — C library via FFI)
└── croatoan (ncurses terminal rendering)
``` ```
cl-tty depends only on croatoan and Yoga. It is not tied to any application. ## Quick start
** Dependencies ```lisp
;; Create a modern terminal backend
(let ((backend (make-instance 'cl-tty.backend:modern-backend)))
(cl-tty.backend:initialize-backend backend)
;; Backend is ready — write text, draw boxes, handle input
(cl-tty.backend:shutdown-backend backend))
```
- Common Lisp (SBCL tested) ## Architecture
- croatoan — ncurses binding for terminal rendering
- Yoga — Flexbox layout engine (C library, loaded via CFFI)
- Quicklisp libraries as needed (ironclad for hashing, bordeaux-threads)
** Status Two backends, one protocol:
v0.1.0 — Layout engine (in progress) - **modern-backend** — truecolor 24-bit, OSC 8 hyperlinks, DECICM sync,
SGR mouse, kitty keyboard, bold/italic/underline, box-drawing chars
- **simple-backend** — ASCII art, no color, universal compatibility
See ~docs/ROADMAP.org~ for the full release plan. Everything is pure escape sequences (no curses, no terminfo, no FFI).

| TextArea | Multi-line input with undo/redo, selection | v0.5.0 |
| Markdown | Renders markdown with syntax highlighting + diffs | v0.8.0 |
| Dialog | Modal overlays with stack management | v0.9.0 |
| Toast | Transient notifications (info/success/warning/error) | v0.9.0 |
| Mouse | Event handlers, hit-testing, text selection | v0.10.0 |
| Slot | Plugin system — named slots for extensible UI | v0.11.0 |
## Backend features
| Feature | modern | simple |
|-------------------|--------|--------|
| Truecolor (24-bit)| Yes | No |
| Bold/italic | Yes | No |
| OSC 8 hyperlinks | Yes | No |
| DECICM sync | Yes | No |
| SGR mouse | Yes | No |
| Kitty keyboard | Yes | No |
| Box drawing chars | Unicode| ASCII |
| Pipe-safe | No | Yes |
## Development
```bash
# Run all tests
sbcl --script run-all-tests.lisp
# Tangle org files
emacs --batch --eval "(progn (require 'org) (find-file \"org/FILE.org\") (org-babel-tangle) (kill-buffer))"
```
Literate programming: `.org` files in `org/` are the source of truth.
`.lisp` files are generated by tangling.
