It's not keyboard shortcuts, it's pure keyboard input; an important distinction to make, as with modern GUI interfaces, keyboard input is often an afterthought.


Just like TUIs can accept mouse input, GUIs can be operated without one.

The only difference is that TUIs are worse at displaying... text (and graphics)


I fully agree. I made a TUI client/server framework loosely modeled around the concepts of CSS/HTML. One of my core design decisions was keyboard only input.


I agree. I wish there was a common way to toggle keyboard navigation hints in GUIs. Like F1 is often help, F2 rename etc.
