No, but I want to click to place the cursor in my 10 line prompt wherever I want. I want to double click to mark words. I want to use a scroll bar. I want to copy paste properly and not "23 lines pasted". I don’t want to read docs to find all keystrokes the TUI supports to achieve what I want.

    I thought that UI looked vaguely familiar, and then I realized that the BIOS on many computers uses that design. I never really connected the dots.

  iTerm2. Doesn’t work out of the box or something, but I’ll take a look at my config.
