I would love to have this feature built into opentui. Currently text overflows and it can go over other elements.

The API in React could look something like

<text textOverflow='truncate'>very long text should be truncated and add ... at the end</text>

How does the layout for this look like? If the texts are in the same parent in a row it should ~~truncate~~ cut off the text, when using a TextRenderable or text component.

There is a truncate: boolean option on Text Renderables now. Can be iterated, but basics are there.
