Neat tool, I could see this being handy for debugging TUI tools.

I noticed that it works with _escaped_ ESC characters ("\x1b", "\u001b", "\033") but it didn't recognize raw ESC characters that I had in my clipboard. It might be useful to support those (maybe highlight them similarly to how VS Code highlights whitespace characters). The characters show up as numbered unicode error glyphs (I'm on Firefox, if that helps)



Thanks, this is great feedback. I'll see what I can do, stay tuned.


Raw input should be cool now (there's "raw" in the examples as well)
