Do we want tuis?

I can’t stand Gemmin-CLI. That tui gets in the way constantly

I’m mixed in jj’s tui. It’s better than no ui tho

Mostly tho I’m curious when I’d want a tui. Most of the time in a terminal I don’t want one

I do.

I want my interfacing with computers to be mouseless and TUIs offer that. I don’t think I’ve run into a GUI, no matter how many hotkeys it has and I know, where I didn’t have to reach for the mouse.

CLI only also requires remembering commands, some of which I use very infrequently, thus need to look up every time I use them.

I think TUIs hold a very nice spot between GUIs and CLI.

VS Code with the Vim extension is largely mouseless

I use the TUI from a terminal tab in VS Code, my agent works with that and the custom extension with a webapp based interface, seamlessly and concurrently

GUIs, TUIs, and PR/kanban all make sense in different situations. We'll all use at least two of them on regular basis for coding agents.

TUIs make way less sense for your average user

It's also easily mouseless without any Vim or like extension. I never mouse in it, having given intuitive-to-me keychords to all the various moves I need to make beyond the standard stuff.

true, I would never have moved over if I had to give up my vim bindings and modes

I just want a stream, not a TUI. If you can't | it it's not real

There’s no reason why you can’t have both.

Well behaved CLI tools have for years already been changing their UX depending on whether STDOUT is a TTY or a pipe.

Have you tried jjui? It’s pretty nice
