TUIs are much closer to GUIs than CLIs. As a CLI enjoyer, I was resigned to the small win that at least many people distinguish TUI and CLI now but then I saw your comment.
There are quite a few GUIs that can be navigated with keyboard, e.g. menu bars can usually be activated with alt or win and single key presses
- mgaunard 6mo agoAs I said, the advantage of the TUI is that they avoid context-switching.
- danny_codes 6mo agoExcept the part where you switch into the TUI from a normal bash prompt, and your normal bash invocations get eaten by the parser.. Which is essentially exactly the same thing, except your UI is trash relative to a normal GUI
- mgaunard 6mo agoYou're not switching, it's all in the same pane, doesn't mess with windowing or focus, your keyboards shortcuts still work etc.
