My point is that CUA didn't come about until after the migration to GUI's. Afterwards, no one used terminals like we do today, outside of sys-admins. So I'm aware that it's lower in the stack but my point is that the ANSI standards paved the way for any/all of this TUI goodness that the OP wants a standard for (like CUA).
- p_l 3y agoCUA originated on terminals, specifically it was made to unify different approaches used across block terminals, character terminals, DOS apps, and early PC GUI apps. It's also explicitly a Human Interface Guideline, whereas ANSI terminal standards are just interoperability instructions on how to drive a character terminal and declare nothing about how to actually use them for application UI.
- reactordev 3y agoNow it all makes sense. It's like design standards not implementation standards. MaterialUI over I-can-haz-ui. For some reason it didn't click.
