I bet it was terminfo. > Anyhow, last time I checked this > http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/ansi-terminal/0.5.0/doc/html/System-Console-ANSI.html > was the most promising way to support windows. > > It supports lots of the display capabilities, but not input. For the next major release of vty windows support is a reasonable goal. The current plan is as follows: - Use ansi-terminal package to add an instance of Terminal and DisplayTerminal that does not depend on terminfo. - Use unix-compat - Use the backend of haskeline for input. Haskeline has already solved a number of the input issues that are open on vty and has windows support. However the currently exported modules for haskeline do not expose the backend modules. Either that would need to be exposed in the current haskeline package or a new package that is a shared input backend created. None of this should be too difficult. Though I am currently occupied by other projects.
