Also, to be clear- the custom GUI library that the IDE uses is NOT a general-purpose GUI library; it is a support library for the IDE and other BeefLang tools. A true general-purpose GUI would be quite a lot more flexible and also much more complicated... which is not something that is intended for this particular GUI library.

This is mentioned on https://www.beeflang.org/docs/corlib/ but should perhaps be more predominantly stated.

I did eventually find that notice in the documentation, after I posted my comment (and sent you an email). I should have read more of the docs first.

Still, I wonder why you chose to write your own GUI just for the Beef IDE (and installer) rather than use an existing general-purpose GUI. Were you aware of the accessibility issue?
