I've no issues with copy&paste in icy_term :). I've implemented only a very, very simple telnet protocol and I don't think I'll use any telnet features. It's simply not the right layer for that. Downloads should work with ssh/raw/telnet connections. 

However at some point I'll look at protocols again. I now just want to finish what I already have. ATM that would be ANSI music where I need a good output library. The other stuff is just an extra. But I value any feedback and try to get things into it.

But I want to start an ANSI drawing tool - I made one in the 90' (MysticDraw) the last update was 2003 or so where I translated it to SDL. Now 20 years later I'll update it to rust. Never got feedback for the old one and don't think I get feedback for the new one but I maintain it :).

However I may rename it to IcyDraw  - didn't know about MysticBBS back then.
