-// A simple example demonstrating how to handle user input. This is a bit out of the scope of
-// the library as it does not provide any input handling out of the box. However, it may helps
-// some to get started.
-//
-// This is a very simple example:
-//   * An input box always focused. Every character you type is registered here.
-//   * An entered character is inserted at the cursor position.
-//   * Pressing Backspace erases the left character before the cursor position
-//   * Pressing Enter pushes the current input in the history of previous messages. **Note: ** as
-//   this is a relatively simple example unicode characters are unsupported and their use will
-// result in undefined behaviour.
-//
-// See also https://github.com/rhysd/tui-textarea and https://github.com/sayanarijit/tui-input/
