Yes, maybe.

How come you can't read selected text?  You purposely chose a color combination
that makes selected text unreadable?  But how then do you work with Replace
when it asks "Replace this occurrence" when you've used a regex for searching?
You can't see what exactly the regex has matched.

How can you imply that I don't care about accessibility?  What did the
--showcursor option get added for?  And why was its meaning extended
just recently?

Yes, that put me off.

All prompts need attention.  But I understand the wish to visually
distinguish a Yes/No question from a request for string input.

True.  But they are not a necessary part of the linter patches.

The arrows are not purely decorative: they work in other languages
whereas "Left" and "Right" and such don't.
