// Move to top-left corner
Terminal::move_cursor(1, 1)?;
println!("Screen cleared!");

Cursor Movement

Move the cursor to specific positions

Cursor Movement Example

use zfish::term::Terminal;

// Move cursor to position (row, col) - 1-indexed
Terminal::move_cursor(10, 5)?;

// Print at specific position
Terminal::print_at(5, 10, "Hello at row 5, col 10")?;

// Move and print
Terminal::move_cursor(1, 1)?;
println!("Top-left corner");

Output

(Cursor moved to specified positions)

Terminal Size

Get the current terminal dimensions

Terminal Size Example

use zfish::term::Terminal;

// Get terminal size (width, height)
if let Some((width, height)) = Terminal::size() {
    println!("Terminal size: {}x{}", width, height);
} else {
    println!("Could not detect terminal size");
}

Output

Cursor Visibility Example

use zfish::term;

// Hide cursor

// Show cursor again
term::show_cursor()?;

Output

(Cursor hidden during operation, then shown again)
