A TUI is an interactive program with keybindings, where one can navigate around, do actions and the screen will update to reflect the new state. Basically like a X11/win32 GUI, but inside a terminal window.
- catalogia 7y agoIronically the best CLIs are also TUIs, but unix shells don't really seem to have caught onto that yet. For instance, in bash/fish/zsh, why can't I scroll up and mouse click on a command I ran earlier to edit and run it again? I can do that in my scheme repl in emacs. It's a richer experience.
