Default Renderer

DefaultRenderer is the main renderer of listr2.

DefaultRenderer is intended for TTY environments with vt100 terminal compatibility, where it updates the current update constantly depending on the changes in Task. This renderer has many options for customization, these options can be changed at Listr, Subtask or Task level.

This renderer uses ProcessOutput to take control of the terminal.
