If I would have continued my original approach, I probably would have been able to get something like that working pretty well, but since it is pretty hard to beat Virtual DOM types of approaches, I had no need to try anything else when rendering full screens of text could keep up with key repeat rate.

But of course, the idea of developing a terminal using a standard DOM-centric approach is usually not going to turn out very well... though Google is an exception here with the hterm js library that underlies the terminal output for Chromebooks: https://chromium.googlesource.com/apps/libapps/+/master/hter.... Most Chromebook users will never have the opportunity to put this to use, though people like me who put their Chromebooks in developer mode the first chance they get use it all the time.
