We should mention here that this simply sets up Nostr Console in two panes vertically, one being 75% of the screen & the other being the lower 25%, with the goal of the first being a viewer and the second being used for sending messages. Why? Because when you start typing any messages, your terminal will go to the bottom of the screen, so you might lose context of what you're replying to, especially lose track of the event hash.
