Description

The SIGWINCH signal (I think) can be used to immediately trigger a print which could improve the lag caused by the terminal window size changing.

Should this be optional or just replace ShouldPrintThisTick()? I think the latter.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the SIGWINCH signal handler integration into the main loop, possibly replacing or supplementing ShouldPrintThisTick() with signal triggered printing.
