What I miss in C# TUI/CLI land is an API not working full screen but line by line base (basically doing sophisticated readlines).

Someone know a lib for that?

Something like https://github.com/tonerdo/readline?

Too simplistic. yo generator or npm init for example having selections, dropdowns and things like that (I just referenced them out of my head).

If you know python, there is a package called prompt-toolkit which does what you are looking for

https://github.com/prompt-toolkit/python-prompt-toolkit

Yeah .. something like that is missing in C# land (IMHO)

Depending on how much effort you want to put into it, you may be able to use prompt-toolkit with IronPython (would have to use version 2.0 of prompt-toolkit since that supports Python 2.x) and then reference that in your C# applications

It may be easier to implement now with the improvements to conhost and now Windows Terminal

Sounds like a damn new project to do :)
