curDown

Source

curEnd

Source

This curEnd()

Moves the cursor to the end of the current line.

ansi-sequence: ESC[w

Note this is an Alien-Factory extension - not an ANSI standard.

curHome

This curHome()

Moves the cursor to the start of the current line.

ansi-sequence: ESC[v

Note this is an Alien-Factory extension - not an ANSI standard.

curHorizonal

Source

This curHorizonal(Int? column := 1)

ansi-sequence: ESC[${col}G
curLeft

Source

This curLeft(Int? cols := 1)

Moves the cursor left a number of rows. Passing in 0 or null does nothing.

ansi-sequence: ESC[${cols}D

This fgRgb(Int? rgb)

Sets the foreground colour to the given RGB integer. If null is passed, this method does nothing.

  • bits 16-23 red
  • bits 8-15 green
