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.

You can handle mouse events in a TUI

And I want to read proportional fonts, like just about anything except terminals already uses.

Yeah, already in 1990, what an achievement. /s

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.

sounds like your terminal emulator is just crap, terminal and iterm on mac just work

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

If you mean what Claude Code does when you paste longer text, you can just press Cmd-V again to show the full text.

Thanks. Kinda proves my point about TUIs having all kinds of hidden keyboard shortcuts.

You're definitely right about that. I couldn't tell you where I found out about this keybind.
