How does this skill help with Rust development?

It provides pre-configured code patterns for complex layouts, widget rendering, and event handling, significantly speeding up the creation of interactive terminal apps.

Ratatui is a powerful Rust library used to build terminal user interfaces (TUIs) using an immediate-mode rendering paradigm, evolved from the original tui-rs crate.

Does it support mouse and keyboard input?

Yes, the skill includes patterns for handling terminal events via the Crossterm backend, including polling for keyboard input and specialized key codes.

Which backend does this skill use?

This skill focuses on the Crossterm backend, which is the most common and cross-platform compatible way to handle terminal manipulation in the Ratatui ecosystem.

Can I create complex responsive layouts?

Absolutely. This skill includes guidance on using Layout constraints (Percentage, Ratio, Length, Min, Max) to create responsive vertical and horizontal terminal segments.
