Hello, and very sorry for not replying until now.

Can you share code that reproduces this? Are you using an input() somewhere? Otherwise, I'm not seeing a cursor on my machine.

Sure! https://github.com/zyberzebra/Terminal-Quiz

Why are you using input there? Just handle enter pressed and choose the active line?

[zyberzebra]

Oh… I see. I'm gonna try that tomorrow.

Sorry for bothering and thanks for helping!

By the way this wasn't a bother. When you ask questions in public, it helps other people.

I hope you were able to learn from the list example and make progress!

So just to make sure you understand the point of input, it exists purely for freeform text to be typed in. I assume you've gone through the README already but just in case here is the relevant section

You would almost certainly be interested in the list code example:

$ git clone https://github.com/varabyte/kotter
$ cd kotter/examples/list
$ ../../gradlew run
