A Table of Tables (Escaping Literality)

 It is oft helpful to have a LIST of certain codes like UNICODES, ESCape sequences, etc. (see TOC)

Cursor Controls

ESC Code SequenceDescription
ESC[Hmoves cursor to home position (0, 0)
ESC[{line};{column}H
ESC[{line};{column}f		moves cursor to line #, column #
ESC[#Amoves cursor up # lines
ESC[#Bmoves cursor down # lines
ESC[#Cmoves cursor right # columns
ESC[#Dmoves cursor left # columns
ESC[#Emoves cursor to beginning of next line, # lines down
ESC[#Fmoves cursor to beginning of previous line, # lines up
ESC[#Gmoves cursor to column #
ESC[6nrequest cursor position (reports as ESC[#;#R)
ESC Mmoves cursor one line up, scrolling if needed
ESC 7save cursor position (DEC)
ESC 8restores the cursor to the last saved position (DEC)
ESC[ssave cursor position (SCO)
ESC[urestores the cursor to the last saved position (SCO)

                      BEFORE you even begin to worry about learning all of the OVERWHELMING amount of information you plan to plant into your brain ... Be it about ALL of Computer Science (CS) or just about a specific, top of iceberg part of CS; say about: the P ython language, or the H TML mark up/down language, or C SS, J avaScript (JS), frameworks, C, C++, C#, etc., etc.  ............. or about ALL of Medical Scienc e (because you are a student in medical school (anatomy, organic chem, pharmacology, nervous system, muscular system, optical system, endocrinology, and on and on, .... or about any other topic ....

                      Welcome to Circular Import Hell

                       I'd seen rumors of it. Didn't think it could happen to me. Hey, I'm just a beginner/noob Python coder; still not grokking much of it in my nascent and evolving cusp state, Those alleged "circular import" lock ups should happen only to them guru coding experts who are trying to be too clever by a half! Not me. Not yet. (Right?) At first my computer would just freeze up. The cursor stopped moving. I couldn't do anything but shut off the power and boot up again. I worried that PyCharm or Python 3.13.5 had permanently damaged my computer! After many a failed runs and reboots, I managed to move some of the modular code around such that I got a bunch of error messages in the PyCharm console area. It said something about a particular variable not being defined. I looked in my code. Damn it. It is defined. Right there. Very infuriating. Some deep breathes and I re-read the error traceback messages more carefully. Somethingabout this probably being a "circular i...
