Re: [forge-dev] WindowBlu for Forge
It's cool - but I was really hoping such things as direct/raw text control/buffer
output would not be exposed or at least not be the norm that plugins uses/depends on it.
It still annoys me to see forge plugins that does shell.print(Color.RED, "blah
blah") instead of shell.error("blah blah")

Internally, there is a new concept known as a BufferManager.
Essentially the idea is that a plugin can create it's own sub-buffer to the main shell
buffer.
When WindowBlu loads, it registers its own buffer with the Shell, taking control of the
display buffer so it can intercept and translate all the ANSI -- as well as pre-buffer
repainting of the titlebar to minimize flickering, etc.

console output, so you could intercept console output and do fun stuff like add a status
bar. Well, Forge has this limitation no longer -- at least not in my branch
