 ## TODO and Ideas
- 
+
  - menubar feature
  - key callback
  - Right-To-Left text
+ - some terminal does not hide the cursor, move it bottom-right before to getch.
+ - refactor backtitle: multiline, conf.backtitle, WINDOW \*dialog.backtitle.
+ - refactor bottomdesc: WINDOW \*dialog.bottomdesc -> fix expandig screen.
+ - accessibility https://wiki.freebsd.org/Accessibility/Wishlist/Base
+ - add bool conf.menu.depthlines.
+ - implement custom getopt\_long().
+ - refactor/redesign gauge().
+ - improve grey lines expanding terminal (maybe redrawwin() in hide\_dialog()).
+ - more restrictive strtol() and strtoul().
+ - implement global buttons handler.
+ - add/move external tutorial.
+ - implement menutype.min_on.
