Have you tried tput? ... If yes, then would you explain why it did not satisfy your requirements? – Raffa Jul 24 '22 at 05:05
because I don't want the lag of resetting the terminal. I only want two lines being removed. one of them to be replaced with an out put of: "$PS1sudo apt install vim" – Moshe Stein Jul 24 '22 at 09:57
and the other just to be deleted and the output of the next commnands will replace it. – Moshe Stein Jul 24 '22 at 09:58

Does this answer your question? How do I make a program quit with "q" and restore the console like "man" does? – Raffa Jul 24 '22 at 10:20
