 #### FAQ
 
-Q: Why does this module not work on Windows?
-A: As with many other things, Windows has a completely different and incompatible way of handling
-input parsing and drawing primitives, and support has not been implemented yet.
-Contributions are definitely welcome though.

 Q: My terminal (doesn't receive events / doesn't print anything / prints gibberish characters),
 what's up with that?
 A: Please check if your terminal. The module has been tested with `xterm`-based terminals on Linux
