I'm trying to write a cli app with zcurses. I've looked at feedz, zmixer,
and tetriscurses and also ZUI but I couldn't find any very basic hello
world examples. I also found that feedz and zmixer don't work for me (zsh
5.7.1).

The only documentation I found was
http://zsh.sourceforge.net/Doc/Release/Zsh-Modules.html#The-zsh_002fcurses-Module
and
when trying zcurses init && zcurses addwindow ... nothing seems to happen
for me.

I also watch the videos on ncurses UI in zcurses but that all uses ZUI
which has it's own implementation.

Does someone have basic/intro hello world examples for zcurses?

Thanks

You need to add some content and then call refresh. So for example add some
text or draw the window's border.

Here's a complete hello world script:

#!/usr/bin/env zsh

zmodload zsh/curses || exit 1

zcurses init
zcurses move stdscr 2 2
zcurses string stdscr "Hello World!"
zcurses refresh
sleep 2

# More: add a window with a border
zcurses addwin win2 10 25 5 10 stdscr
zcurses border win2
zcurses move win2 1 2
zcurses string win2 "Hello World!"
zcurses refresh win2
sleep 5

zcurses end

Might this be a good addition to the Misc/ directory (alongside
Misc/vcs_info-examples) or to the manual?
